Thanks AP! I guess this is proof these guitars play by themselves. Even better with others!  Thank you kindly!

Great version. Very creative.

Thanks AGP! I did a disclaimer, take the lawsuit somewhere else Ha!  Not much like Van, essence man! I left out some of the lyrics, I’m not singing about hookers in December, check next month. Now about the chorus, the lady above me, well her name is Gloria! So every time I’d Rev up the chorus, she’d bend over the balcony and say Yes!  After three hours, potted plants were raining down. I love Van, no one does it like Van, so I tried, not well, to  emulate John Lee Hooker singing w/ Van.  Basically a Swed trying to sing Irish. Glad you liked, thank you!

Thanks RTZ! It must be all the sun on our heads in California. I play Uncle’ 1 string lap Diddley with a slide and trademark screwdriver, deranged maybe, but it’s the only way to keep the beat. Lap violence! Glad you liked, thank you!

G.L.O.R.I.A. , sorta sticks in the head. Thanks Erasmo! Maple leaf L  used just for you, AP, and Milt!  You were a bit early for happy hour, but I’ll have some hot flaming tall ones for you at 4. Deluxe tickets got the laser show, that for spending the extra bucks! Much appreciated E, thank you!
