Footnotes

Guitar oddities, such as this Teisco model, were considered as valid musical tools if they had a sound or vibe that appealed to Rory. It could be played as a normal guitar, or used with its built-in speaker, powered by two 9-volt batteries. Rory was photographed using this guitar on his final studio recordings which appeared on the Peter Green tribute album, Rattlesnake Guitar: The Music of Peter Green, (1995).
