Thanks, Ed! I used to have that issue -- sold it for what seemed like a healthy profit at the time -- but have since regretted not being able to reread the article about Neko's guitars. And was thinking about that SG tenor just yesterday!

Nice bit of investigative journalism there, Charley. That clip was uploaded five years ago by someone who has only uploaded this one. Wonder what if anything that means.

Also wanted to point out her backup singer, Kelly Hogan, a friend of hers and a fine singer-songwriter in her own right. I learned about them about the same time, 2000 I think (pivotal moment, eh?) - Kelly Hogan & The Pine Valley Cosmonauts – "Beneath the Country Underdog" and Neko Case – "Furnace Room Lullaby," hipped to there being some great alt-country operating far out of the mainstream - record label in Chicago. Here's her take on The Magnetic Fields' "Papa Was a Rodeo." (Oh, almost forgot - thanks, Ed!
