Well said on the broomstick discussion. I was a bit excited to see Johnny Lowebow among the members when I joined the Nation. I have never seen him perform, but was familiar with him.
Now that I've seen what John Lowe is all about, I wouldn't go across the street to hear him play.
It's a shame that some people can only be happy when making others miserable.
And that's all I've got to say about that.

So Sam...I tune the "e" string down to a "d" and the "b" down to an "a" but can I pull that "G" string up to a "D" without it breaking on the dulci strummer? Hope this doesn't sound like a dumb question.

Hi Sam: did I see somewhere that you have some instructions/tips on building a 6 string with a bolt on Strat style neck? If you do, does it cover anything on dealing with boxes that length-wise don't accomodate the neck? In other words putting the bolt on heel outside of the box. Thanks, Tim

Sam, I took your advice and picked up a little berhinger mixer and ran it into my 100 watt peavey. I believe it will do the trick for those small venues, thanks for the tip! I am working on a gospel set to play at my church. I will let you know how it goes. Hope all is well-

thanks for the comments on the vid sam. good boxes are very rare around here so a self made box is a good alternative if you can get some good wood like cedar to construct with. cheers

You said about my freshly made diddley bow "I'd also hope that you play these enough to start to get on with playing slide... it will open a whole new world to you...", and you know, it's quite true. I've been playing for many years and played in many styles, but slide is something I've never really spent much time on and only been frustrated by when I did toy with it. The d-bow and a slide, however, is a revelation. I've been picking out lots of songs on the thing and I'm convinced for certain now that a slide and 1 string instrument is such a distilled reduction of music - such a fundament - that I should have learned on something like his many years ago. I'm learning some great melodic concepts all over again. Refreshing and invigorating! Glad I made this or my 5 year old.

Wichita, I love your song---Santa's back in town; you have a great voice.

Yup, Sam, those are your paired boxes! I still have the others, but they are less deep and will make great fiddles. I have a mind to try a 3-string fretted fiddle, just for laughs. Those other boxes fit nicely under the chin, and so no chinrest needed! Thanks for the good wishes!

Thanks for the comments and encouragement, Sam! I can't wait to see how it comes out too!!!!
