Hullo all, Eddie Tuleja (native and former resident of New Jersey) and myself recently released an album of 5 original songs all about significant events and places in Tasmania. The album is available for download from most online music retailers. I would be happy if anyone could have a listen to the songs ..even if it is just previewing them...and give me some feedback (sorry no CBGs featured..yet).

Cheers

I have been using these strings from C.B. Gitty on all of my "normal builds" http://www.cbgitty.com/cigar-box-guitar-parts/12-pack-acoustic-med-3-string-cbg-strings-blues-blaster-low-open-g-gdg/ and like the tone I'm getting out of them.

The two string just uses the upper two from one of the sets, .034" & .026" and is tuned middle D, middle G. I used the .044" string for a diddley bow.

Thanks for the kind words on my builds, I'm sure having a lot of fun with them, I just need to take more time and learn how to play them.

Cheers
