Yep, confirmed in a Q+A on Johnny Marrs personal website - (http://www.jmarr.com)

 

Q: been a big fan for years. really admire all your work. what i want know is do you remember what guitar you used on the talking heads song (notning but) flowers? i really love that. also what's you're opinion on my other favourite songwriter Lee Mavers?

 

A: On "Nothing But Flowers" I used a Gibson 335. My opinion of Lee Mavers ? Well obviously I think he was pretty fantastic, the La's album is still great. Lee and I played together for a few days in '94 or '95. He came over to my place and we jammed on some La's stuff and some Stones and old R 'n B (real R n B, Bo Diddley) and improvised a bit. I like "Calling All" and "Liberty Ship'..."Looking Glass"

 

 

 

Just read this on another forum.

 

Man, what would I pay for a recording of those sessions.

Wow. I love Johnny Marr. He loves me.

 

Use to work for a travel company and booked a few of his holidays. Only met him a few times, normally his wife came in but yes he is a nice chap.

He was drunk and now bitterly regrets it.

 

Please don't try and contact him any more.

 

:sad:
