Thanks for posting this, David. Very nice flashback for me.
I didn't see a clip where they played. Is there one there & I missed it?

Hi David,
I saw the show when It aired on PBS, and was very impressed with the performance and the guitars.
Noel played your guitar for background music during the conversation, and your guitar sounded great. Im sure your guitar generated a lot of interest, because during the performance I kept saying to myself "those guitars sound great", and I wondered what brand guitars they were playing? The performance at the end of the show was truly magical. Tavis gave them a "I'm not worthy bow" at the end of the show.

There is a fund raiser on PBS Detroit tonight with Peter and Noel, along with Keb Mo and a few others. Noel is playing your guitar on this show as well. Nice sound, and good looks. [clap]

I also saw "The Peter Yarrow Sing-Along Special" in New York City a week or so ago. It was a great concert/sing-along for kids and adults. I thought It was the same guitar, so I took a picture of It.
