Other than some of the authors quoted herein, The Christies Auction Catalogs for The Crossroads Center contained interviews with Eric and Lee regarding the histories. Enjoyed sitting back and just reading. Normally I'd jump into this but the contributors seemed to be doing just fine. Thanks for the SNL video. I remember viewing that broadcast. A little anecdote on the green guitar...7-UP Green...Eric is quoted as saying that he always wanted to have a guitar the color of a 7-UP bottle. Seems he was tiring of black. The return to the Blackie came in 1990. If your interested in the narrative as to how they came to that again, I'll dig it out of the catalog on returning home if no one else has it. BTW: I've an early '89 Pewter.
