Hi Chris,
I'll bet that album is "Tip Of The Top," which IMO, is still the best thing 
he ever recorded. He did use a 16 holer a few times, and the one on that 
cover, he was using a CBH 2016, and during our discussions, that happened to 
come up, and he told me he realy didn't care for them too much, and much 
preferred using the 270's, saying he felt they were much tighter than any of 
the 16 holers.
