.... to the best of my recollection, I've never seen a Supro.
Are they still around?
Haven't been made since the early '60's or possibly even the '50's.
You might ask Gary, as an amp tech he may have run across a few.
They were never popular until it got out the Page used them. You
could find one for $25 at garage sales. Now they command premium
prices, which pissed 'ol Led Wallet off.
As I said, I like some of Page's guitar playing. I just think
he's over-rated by a lot of people.
What can I say that I haven't before, Page goes for feel above technicallity. He will leave a mistake in a recording if he
thinks the feeling was better in that take. He won't edit the
life out of it just to make sure there are no little mistakes
that causes techno crowd to shudder.
As for Lightfoot, here we'll just have to agree to disagree.
I've always thought him *vastly* overrated.
That figures. (But who's 'ol Led Wallet?)
perfection - his voice strong and assured, without any hint of a
problem. When he was done, he walked off stage to huge applause,
put his guitar down and promptly passed out!
I've heard Engle tell a similar story about Gene Autry, another
famous tippler.
All in all, still one of the greats I have met...:) Him and, wait
while I stand up to the position of attention....The Duke. At
ease.

OTS, did you notice what kind of guitar Ricky Nelson used in Rio
Bravo? :)
