You know, we get down to N Myrtle a few times a year. We ought to get together. You know, as much as I talk about other members of the Nation having great builds, I seem to overlook your skills. If I never say it, you really do make great boxes. Cheers!

At 1:08pm on October 12, 2010, bairfoot cajun said…: thanks rock city for the comment on the brass plate resonator,it was a fun build and has good tone.those plate resonators are fairly easy to build and they kinda look cool too with the different hole patterns in the box top. one reason i put a lot of holes in the box top is to allow more vibration from the plate itself. kinda experimental in a way like a lot of different things i try. thanks again.

Now I'm building my own. Do me a favor and check out my diagram for "Overthinking a Diddley Bow" and let me know if you think it's plausible or a total waste of time.

At 12:29pm on August 24, 2010, bairfoot cajun said…: thanks for the comment on the padron copper reso rock city,appreciate it.

At 3:55am on April 30, 2010, Keni Lee Burgess said…: Thank you rockcity. Check out the Starlight Gospel Singers version that was one of the inspirations. Enjoy.
