[font=trebuchet ms]May you draw inspiration from our own Liona Boyd, who hired both Eric Clapton and David Gilmour as sidemen for one of her projects, called "Personnae".

BTW: My friends got pissed at me for borrowing their guitars all the time, so I got a paper route, and bought one for myself. I found the hang-tag from it last night while I was sorting through some old boxes. The date on the back of the tag - 9 October 1968.[/font]
