Actually Tony's voice problem is neurological. When he fist came down with it he coudn't even talk. He's done therapy back to talking and could do more to get back to singing but last I heard he says he's happier picking and that's about it. I'd disagree - his singing brought me around to him.

That CD of him doing the Lightfoot tunes is fabulous.

On that guitar - Tonly actually tracked it down two years after White's death. Exactly the right person to have it.

Speaking of Clarence White, I still wonder what he could have done had he been allowed to live past 29.
