The whole interview is great! Beato always does a great job asking his questions and then just listening.

Extraordinary episode. Beato always delivers, but Al just takes it to another level. I grew up w/ heavy doses of Prog/Fusion and many of his records have been in my collection since I first started buying records....and had already been hearing them via my oldest brother since I was a wee lad.

Really looking forward to Sat Night in San Fran. My copy of Friday Night is so worn from playing that I wouldn't doubt side b is ghosting backwards while playing side a! :D

Al has a Guild 12 string. At 9:26. Looks like an F-512 to me.
That is she, now equipped with an LR Baggs Anthem in the soundhole.

I suspect those are the Album names not the specific songs it was played on. I gave two of the songs of that title a listen and couldn't hear a 12 string. I guess I'll have to listen to the albums.

All this did was make me regret selling my 78’ Guild MKII. Was the only classical I ever liked.
