Bear's Lair

Hey Bear, This is Walt The CBUkulele builder, I like you video music and impressed with your unique designs. Sounds great! Glad to be a part of this website.Working on another Uke of course cannot stop this feverish hobby, Ha. Will post pics later on, when I finish my  40 on record. Your added friend, Walt CBU Builder [:-)]===I=I

Thanks for the request and the kind words. I've been listening to your CBBanjo record, and it's just great music all around. Nice recording, too.

Thanks Bear real nice builds and playing really like the CBG banjo idea

Todd,

Thanks for your compliments...no, I don't play left handed, did I turn one of the videos around?? lol.  I have to tell you though, when I listen to your music, it is like magic and touches my heart. You are an amazing writer and musician, and I believe that you will be found someday...

Thanks Bear for the info. Sorry it took so long to respond, guess I better check my page a little more often. You're info helps a lot. I'm gonna ease into the banjo build mostly cause it'll be a first so I'm soaking up as much info as I can get before I start, Thanks A million-Moe

Great music Bear! I'm surfing your site as I'm interested in building a CBG Banjo. It looks like the neck is the thing to be concerned about so if you have any suggestions for me that would be cool. As everyone else I use 1X2's for my cbg's but I need a little wider for a 5 stringer. What have you done? Just laminated a strip on the side or what? Thanks-Moe

Bear,

I was just curious. You talked about the words "No text, how are you" in Broken Bird. Yes, that is correct. I was actually trying to make it current to today when i wrote that. I was thinking more of a modern bluesy country song, and did it on purpose. You did make me ponder, whether I should just change that line to "no sweet, how are you". Thanks for taking all the time to help analyze them too.

Bear! I got the chance to listen to all your music while I was writing this. Your music is amazing, I don't even know how to tell you how much I love it.. I don't mean just 1 or 2. ALL OF THEM. Such a pleasure to be able to listen and thanks again.
