Beautiful playing.
This is exactly what I hope to be doing at 83. This is great.
Hell yeah - I want one! On the back it could say "I'm not a complete idiot; some parts are missing."
Awesome, as always.
It's beautiful.
I think it's a great version of a so-so song, and it's certainly a new sound for you. I'm with the masses -- lose the drum machine: they're fine for recording demos, but not much else. The Motown sound is heavy on bass drum (usually double bass kit)…
The music that started a revolution and grew into a nation
Jack White. Since that dream is complete, Robbie Robertson.
Love the formica table.
Excellent boxes.
Very cool.

Tom (mezzy) Hiles said… - Hi Susan !For starters.... Thanks for checking out my video! This is my build but, that's not me, That is Will Ray of the Hellecasters I built this guitar as well as a custom for him. And yes , he is the inventor of the stealth-slide ring. He wears two on his fretting hand and one on his pick hand. I just got one from Will a few months back, They are really a great slide. Allows you to still fret and use your finger as a finger, as well as have a slide readily available. If you check my other videos there are some of the custom CBG I built for Will aswell....

Michael Neis said… - Hello Susan,I'm glad we can be friends.When I decided to start building CBGs,I felt I needed a gimmick to help me stand out in the crowd..hence the mask.Too many of the other builders just lean their guitars against a wall or tree to take pix,I wanted people to say "What Th' Hell?" and then click on my listing.Yes I'll admit it is a little creepy but out of 42 CBGs Iv'e sold, I've only had to relist 1.So please don't be put off my marketing tactic as you can always sic your guard dog on me!!.Have a great day Susan,Michael.

bairfoot cajun said… - hello susan just stopped by to answer yer question about the whiskey bow. i havent sold it and i switched canisters.the Balvenie whiskey canister got the first dowell neck that the rum canister was on originally. the rum canister is getting another similar neck with fingerboard but it will have 2 strings instead of one. i have 3 more canisters that will eventually get built into something too. to be honest i have not sold any of the builds i have---i gave several away and made one trade for the 6-string shoeshine box build. talk with ya later susan. if you have interest in these or want to build one for yourself, i will be glad to help out or talk more about it with you.
