A few years ago Roy had gained enough weight that he had Dean Porter slim down the necks on all his guitars.
Some of the guitars would have been worth 20 to 50 thousand dollars each if not modified. After modification they would only be worth a few hundred. When Dean got the guitars he called Roy and asked him if he realy wanted to have these valuable guitars modified. The modifications would reduce the total value by at least a hundred thousand dollars.
Roy insisted Dean redo the necks. He told Dean that he needed to be able to play them.. and as fat as his fingers were he could not play them with the standard sized neck. I have heard since that Roy has lost a few lbs.
I have lost some weight as well. I put a sign around my neck. It says ... "Don't feed Ray." It helped my figure.. not my guitar playing.

This is the song that played as I walked down the aisle during our wedding :)
Andrea Boccelli ~ Con te Partirò
Quando sono solo
sogno all'orizzonte
e mancan le parole
si lo so che non c'è luce
in una stanza quando manca il sole
se non ci sei tu con me
Su le finestre
mostra a tutti il mio cuore
che hai acceso
chiudi dentro me
la luce che
hai incontrato per strada
Con te partirò -
Paesi che non ho mai
veduto e vissuto con te
adesso sì li vivrò
Con te partirò
su navi per mari
che io lo so
no, no, non esistono più
con te io li vivrò
Quando sei lontana -
sogno all'orizzonte
e mancan le parole
e io sì lo so
che sei con me
tu mia luna tu sei qui con me
mio sole tu sei qui con me
con me con me
Con te partirò -
Paesi che non ho mai
veduto e vissuto con te
adesso sì li vivrò
Con te partirò
su navi per mari
che, io lo so
no, no, non esistono più
con te io li rivivrò v
Con te partirò -
su navi per mari
che, io lo so
no, no, non esistono più
con te io li rivivrò
Con te partirò
Io con te
