Thank you Knotlenny for your comment. I think this would be great for old 1930's Blues. The performance would sound like a 78 RPM record being played on an old Victrola! Enjoy.
Wow - thanks for your comment - had to edit down nearly 3 hours of film to get that video together and it didn't include any fun footage like sawing fingers off or dropping the hammer on my foot!
I really enjoy your music...It is wonderful and been along time since i heard a song that really moved me like yours did...I hope I didnt mess it up but I enjoed it so much i wanted to jam with you...Hope I didn't ruin it!
hello Mr. K. Been down here in Mexico for three weeks now, going through withdrawl with out my guitars. Bought a cheep 2nd hand one for fifty bucks just so I could play. Can"t wait to get back and play some silde. Cheers Richard
Hey, Knotlenny -- I just got broadband, and for the first time I've been able to listen to music and watch videos around here. Really enjoying all your stuff!!
knotlenny--time so busy this holiday, I've yet to explore your page..and numerous offerings! your kind words went straight to my heart...thanks so much,.....I appreciate!! I think I bought my daddy mojo in 04,..offa ebay too.,....it sat around till I thought to jam a shopstick under the strings--you see, I never learned to play guitar outsida lap steel! played banjo a year, and changed horses in midstream!! .....I say a big thanks for listening and kind words...hoping your NEW YEAR is outragelously GOOD in every way possible! LOL......:-) Laurie
Great idea, I'll take some and get'em posted soon as I can. Do you have any close ups of your rig? I'm still tryin' to understand how to put it all together and as a matter of fact, I still need a cheap hi-hat cymbal with the stand to attach to my kick drum. Are you a practicing busker? I've not busked yet but intend to give it a try as soon as I get my rig built to the point of adding the hi-hat cymbal. Also, a decent weather day would help. We can barely get above 60 degrees so far this winter and late fall. Have a happy New Year and I look forward to more interaction with you.
Thank you for the B-day wish. Happy New Year!!! Enjoy.

Hi Kevin,
I admire your CBG playin' ability and hope someday to play almost as good as you. I've tried your tunings and am still strugglin' with the 3 string concept and fingerpickin' which I was never good at but I was tryin' to fingerpick 6 strings. Hope you and yours have a very happy, healthy and prosperous New Year.
