Re: [Harp-L] Alan Wilson's microphone

["Patrick Lines" <plines@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have the Woodstock deluxe edition dvd that this is from and have looked at 
it closely and am pretty sure that it is a Shure 545 with a custom volume 
control. In Fito's book, "Living the Blues", there are a couple of pictures 
of Alan in the studio using what looks like a 545 pistol grip.
