Instruments
Double Neck
Tom recently ordered a Washburn double-neck guitar and he's been playing it ever since. While it hasn't replace the 12-string, since he won't take it on an airplane, Tom absolutely loves his new guitar. He has the 12-string neck tuned DADGAD and the 6-string neck in regular tuning (or occasionally in drop D) and whatever he plays, he often gives the other neck a strum to add some droning. He's planning a workshop/concert with one of his favourite musicians, Barry Childs-Helton. What a hoot this will be - come to FKO to see and hear them.
12 String
Tom's 12 string is a Larivee that he bought used in Minneapolis at the Podium. Since then he has had compliments on it from nearly everyone who has touched it, including all the staff at Long and McQuades, where he took it to have a pickup installed. It's his baby, and he calls it Larry.
Mandolin
A Samick mandolin, style Kentucky. I found this in a used guitar shop in Winnipeg and fell in love with it. You can hear it on Erica's Hello Stranger, Phil Mill's Rain on the Sand, and I take it with me almost everywhere I go because it's small, easy to carry, and it is perfect for jamming with other people.
Resonator guitar
A Gibson Epiphone. I picked this up for a song and a dance because it had a slight ding on the back edge. I named it Seabiscuit! I always wanted to play a resonator guitar, and have experimented with tunings. Blind Lemming Chiffon and I did a guitar workshop together at Anticipation, and you can hear it on Phil Mill's CD Rain on the Sand on the song Melkor's Blues.

Shortly after Tom moved to Toronto, and Sue found out exactly how many instruments he owned and forbade bringing home any more, Sue bought him this one for his birthday. Love will do strange things!

Oh yes, these were on sale at L&M not far from here. So they had to come home with Mr. Jeffers. He intends to "use them for recording". Uh huh, sure.
