Footnotes

This guitar was gifted to Rory by Canadian slide-guitarist Paul Fenton one night in 1985. It was then played by Rory onstage in Ottawa the following day. Fenton has said that it was his way of paying Rory back, as seeing Rory play in Toronto in 1972 was what inspired Fenton to get into music.

Rory was also photographed by Charlie Gill playing this guitar at the Lone Star Cafe in New York on 23rd June 1985.
