That's the LRC? I just love the sound you make out of that canoe!!!!! Your voice is as usual, ..........silky smooth. Love the new wallpaper Ms. Nauga.
great goddess, girl !!! ....what playing !!!... BEAUTIFUL...love the LRC.. what a soiund.
what does it matter if you never build one !!!
i'm trying not to be intimidated by---but allowing myself be encouraged by--- how good your and Bemuzic's videos are..not to mention how well you both play.
A box is just a box, until something is done with it, and you my dear, with anything in yours hands are an American, and an Americana treasure. Honored to have been commissioned for this, and look forward to the always stunning songs and videos.
On the Pink CBG I printed off a decal, applied it to the box and then sealed it with several coats of polyurethane. The wood that I use on the fret boards I get at a Hard Wood Shop in Springfield Missouri - I just wander in there from time to time and if I see something that I think would be good for a fret board I pick it up. I'm currently working on a CBG that has lacewood for a fret board.
Hey Laurie Lee, glad you are doing ok. Glad you got some hot weather. Just kidding. I am fine, just so,so------hot here. I wish the humidity would break. Just trying to stay cool. Stay well.
Hey Laurie ! I found you, Woo-Hoo !
Thank you so much for introducing me to this site and all of it's wonderful assets.
You're the BEST Laurie ! Let the manic mowing begin... ;-) -waldo
hi.. i signed out right after i posted...just getting back....
i mean quakes and anomalous events...both positive and negative, but BIG !!!
it is a 'shields up' state for pretty much for a month for anyone who knows me and my work... you happen to be sitting in a particularly trembly spot, so i thought i'd let you know...
well, cuz, i like you and i think your music makes the 'vibes' around you lighter, smoother, more mellow... just what is needed to pilot our vessels through the perilous moments...yes?.z.
Thanks, LL... i would have taken them all outside today as the weather was good, but i did not want to put another step between taking pictures....i have a bunch of delayed house-keeping to catch up on since my 'office' became a 'shop' this winter.....
besides...dey is SNAKEs out there in the early morn...but yes.... soon i will have to get fancier with my mug shots and do them before i have another half dozen built... i'm not speedy, but i am a hermit and there is nothing i'd rather be doing than this ... hanging out and having laughs and good food with my favorite people is probably the only thing that would top it !! zandi z.
Hi Laurie, thanks for this invitation, I'm happy you like my
unpretentious lil' musics ;-) and blog.
I found by a stroke of luck your song "Hey Hey Boyfriend" with your baritone Ukulele and loved; good tempo and feeling !
Have a nice day,
Pierre.
Robert Randolph is astounding, but my bro lives in Austin, and I live in the ATL. I'm excited about this too. I remember I have some lap steel fretboards for Germany I bought on ebay about 5 years ago that would be great for this, so I have a lot of the parts already to go. What tuning do you prefer? I ask because C6 takes a whole different kind of string set than open E, D, or G. I play in C6 and open E mostly, eexcept on my Daddy mojo 5 string which I play on my lap like you, in open G. Email me and we can sort out the particulars.
Email me anytime at barryevanruss@gmail.com and we'll talk about the specifics of your future 6 string lap steel. and if you'd be so kind, check out my website and see what I do to pay the rent. www.barryevanruss.com
Jesus, are we the same person? I play and collect electric 6 string lap steels! My very favorite guitar. So I am intimately familiar with them. I would love to make you one, and of course, since the powerball has eluded me, it may take a while, but it will now be my mission. I'll even make you one with adjustable legs on it if you like. I bought a cheap one on ebay a long time ago just for the legs and I knew one day it would have a purpose. Of course, I'll make the legs removable. By the way, and I don't mean to make fun, but I cannot stop watching your Father Time video, just for the falling back on the bed scene. CRACKS ME UP!
Laurie, I just wanted to tell you, because I forgot, that the guy who plays the stellar guitar on my videos is the guy who actually sent me your videos. He thinks you are amazing, and I'm going to send him the Father Time video. Just thought that would perk you up. I Look forward to whatever comes from your head, and I'd love to make a cigar box for you. If you have a specific want, let me know. it would thrill me to do it for you at no charge.
