The sidebar about Duane's LP's mentioned in the other thread:

That was a GREAT touch AlPaul, well done!

nice, thanks

wow. Real nice article, Thank you Al!
I had read somewhere that Twiggs had one of Duane's guitars stolen from him but I guess that was either false or it was returned somehow? Not sure where I read it, I will have to dig around a bit.
Question for you: What is the story behind Derek touring with Duane's gold top? We saw TTB last month, roadie outside the gig confirmed it was Duane's and OMG I wondered 'cause it totally sounded like him even with Derek playing Derek riffs. Derek used it on the final song which had him trading licks with Susan. Well know we know exactly what arguments sound like in the T-T household - it was phenomenal. They were both playing with passion and going toe to toe with their very unique musical voices.

Yes, nice story Alan.
One question, who owns the Goldtop?
