Hey Olds.... I see you're in lancaster PA! If you're not doing anything on march 31st, I'm putting together an autism benefit at the racehorse tavern in york PA. I have open stage time, and would love to have you help us out. Lemme know!
really enjoying the albums. A really nice way to put them out to the world as well. I am also really more into just getting the songs out there than in making money, though it would not hurt. Peace to you. I am a new fan my friend
Hey man, working at the computer and put the Gemini Ep on...badass weird...I still love it.
Just wondered if you ever dug on Dinosaur Jr...some of your vox sound like J Mascis if he were to do a CBG project...the sleepy, mush-mouth slur...just too cool. Dig your stuff!
Thank you olds sleeper for your comments. I am using standard strings A,D,g but I am tuned way down to DAd. Ya, I have to agree with you, I usually keep my songs short (3 min). This arrangement does need more musical variations to be this long. I was really getting into the lyrics and singing this time. LOL Enjoy.
Just a heads up, some close-ups of the Tobacco Tin guitar made my Al and The Factory Throwouts is posted on my page. I know a few people wanted to see it.
Thanks man, let's just say I've cracked the code and I will for sure be building more of those acoustics. I'm thinking more three stringers, six and eight's as well.
Glad you liked the build though, good hearin' from ya.
Hey Olds - don't worry about what you are playing to make such good music! I don't care if you are using a toothpick and dental floss for an instrument - you sounds great! Thanks for sharing your gift with us - I really enjoy listening to your music.... Best regards, MM
This video is the unboxing and the demonstration of a beautiful, six stringer built by Louie Lamanna. Join Louie and I June 15 at the second annual Pittsburg...
