This is Teddy. He was one of the only things I brought with me to America when I left England in 1997. He used to be just called Teddy, but I decided to give him a more meaningful name, so I thought of two significant people that I could name him after. One of them was a guy whose life I saved in England a few years back. His name was Tim. The other person was the guy who picked me up when I was hitchhiking to Albuquerque to sell my guitar so I could buy a flight back to the UK. He put me up for a week or so, and pursuaded me to stay in the US. His name was Eddie. The combination of the two names was TEDDY!

So, Teddy he remained.
