...back in 1968, I was listening to Gordon Lightfoot's first album for the umpteenth time, and I noticed that something strange was happening in the background. After a while, I figured out that 'Red" Shea was adding counterpoint to Gord's vocal lines by playing harmonics on his acoustic guitar.

I bought my first guitar that October, and by next July I was playing lead guitar for the house band at a local club.
