The PAISLEY TELE was played by Jim all 3 nights at the Mercury Lounge in New
York so I guess I can verify as fact that he has and does use it live. Not
sure if that was a one time thing or why he used it then and not normally.
It sure isn't the workhorse that Martin's beloved tatered white guitar is
(the one on the One Country CD Single, not sure what kind that is.. a
Strat??)

Rock on oilheads, just got my second set of Chicago tix!
