James –   I thought Lester Flatt gave that guitar to Keith in 1975.      Chuck    -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, December 15, 2003 12:36 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: BG: question & suggestion   It's hard to say which guitar Keith Whitley used on the "Katy Daley" album. I've seen photos of Keith playing a D-41 Martin during his very early days with Ralph, however he is holding a D-28 on the cover of the Jalyn album "A Tribute To The Stanley Brothers" that he did with Ricky Skaggs and also in the photo on the back of the "Katy Daley" album. At some point he sold the D-28 to Roy Lee Centers. After Keith took over as lead singer following Roy Lee's death, he bought a 1944 D-28 herringbone from Lester Flatt. Keith owned this guitar until he died and played it in his "When You Say Nothing At All" video. I saw him play this guitar several times with both Ralph and J.D. Crowe.   James A. Shelton
