Michael DeTemple & his impact on The Band's music.

Michael DeTemple supposedly built the harp guitar used by Robbie Robertson @ the end of The Last Waltz, but the guitar is credited as being a loner from LA's Norman's Rare Guitars (still in existence). Michael also joined Rick Danko in his solo years following The Band & played the intro to Sip the Wine.
