I still recognize a Les Paul & Mary Ford recording... unmistakable.

Guys, if you enjoy Led Zepplin catch a show of Get The Led Out. They're a tribute Led Zepplin band. I've been to (6) shows in the last two years. They play studio versions of Zepplins songs. Absolutely fantastic. Check out their web site and play their demo.

Did Clapton keep any of his shotguns or did he auction all of them? He had quite a collection of Best English guns until a couple of years ago.

I did not know that. Maybe he sold them to upgrade his collection to Parkers

He kept the DHE 20 I sold to him....
 A lot of celebrities have sold off some guns recently not just Mr. Clapton. Steve Barnett had a couple of David McKay Brown round bodied 20's that belonged to Robert Redford. I doubt any of these gents needed the money it was just a matter of reducing the inventory, something I need to deal with also  I wouldn't pay a premium for a gun belonging to either one of them

i like my gun to be light, quick handling and be pointing in the place were the bird is about to fly to.Any gun that you can hit grouse with is your best grouse gun.

I personally think there are TWO perfect Parker grouse guns !
The first being the 16 gauge Parker William Harnden Foster talked about in some of his stories . The second would be Burton Spillers little Parker 20 gauge he gave to Tap Tappley ! They are not perfect because of the way they may or may not fit a person but rather from the history they both carry within ! Now the best grouse killing gun I personally ever owned was a POS Browning Citori Upland Special 16 gauge. Thing had 24" piped and english stock and typically I kept it choked with sylinder and improved cylinder . Late season i went with cylinder and modified . Now if I were of the inclanation to hike the Blue Ridge again and had a decent setter I have three guns I would consider suitable for Grouse ! 1. Westley Richards boxlock 12 gauge english stocked light IC and a bit tight modified 2. AH Fox A Grade 16 gauge 26" IC/M 3. Parker GH 16 gauge damascus 27" cut gun thats now light IC and light IC Well there's maybe a 4th gun that I've not gotten to know to well yet ! A Philadelphia Fox Sterlingworth 20 gauge that belonged to Robert Montgomery (father of Bewitched star Elizabeth Montgomery) , this one is 28" modified and full .
