nicely done. everyone!

the only answer posted I say is wrong is the number of strings JPJ could have played on any given night of the US 1977 tour

8-the Bec-Var/Alembic 8 string

4- the 4 string Alembic

4- Fender Precision fretless (IMTOD)

4 the Arco electric stand up

8- a mandolin (going to california)

6 -a six string acoustic (battle of evermore)

12 -a 12 string acoustic (ten years gone)

(all of the least three could be on the Manson triple neck on later dates)

TOTAL: 42

I had lunch at the Swan on Mill Lane in 1983 and heard about how Pagey's dog got out and he found it at the pub.

All others were spot on.

I also think Machynlleth is really close to Robert's old farm..we drove there in only a few quick minutes in 1983. But perhaps a map expert can prove ME wrong.

I have many many tales...if you want to hear them.

love
