Thanks never saw this one before. she is the one that got me interested in singing and playing again about 5-6 years ago. Its a very different version of the song, like it. Mary Black is another prize, I saw her years ago on her last appearance with De Dannan when they toured the US.

I had thought she was a "Taylor-girl" as of late, but looking through some of the YouTube postings, she may very well be back to a Guild...though could not find something really recent.

What model jumbo is that? No Chesterfield, regular fret markers, looks like a dark body wood?

Not certain about the model Guild she played, but she used it from the late 80s through the very early 90s then switched to Taylor which she still uses. What is interesting is that on her CDs it states something to the effect of using Taylors exclusively, but the cover of the "The Loving Kind" shows her with a Martin D probably a D-18. What I take the statement to mean is that she uses Taylor on stage.
