And a good morning to you to John! its 4 below over here it snowed again to day aint no spring Yet , and i finaly got me me yearly Cold, so where me hanky got to blow my noze and drink me Go Juice !!
Mornin' Unc! We still have our health up here in MN. I'm semi-retired again since last May. Spent most of last Fall through December with my brother Rod. He passed away on December 27. Most of January was spent moping around feeling his loss. Decided to get back to the business of living in February but it still hurts a lot. Working on finishing off our lower level right now, also building a copy carver/duplicator thingy. Haven't been to the CBN site for years now. Just ran across your latest music video while perusing CBGittys news letter this morning...brought a smile!!! ;-} Take care old friend and hugs to Linda from Cindy and I. Hope 2017 is a great year for you and yours!
http://www.embergher.com/index.php?id=61 hi there john did some looking, maybee have a looksie on this site do no but looks a lot like a Italian Job ! Greeeeettsszz A.D.
Did i mis something about the Wes and Jerry remarks about the Yellow BCB CBG Picture? BBC? BCB You meen? when there are a bunch of hot irons in the fire ,its advised the tred whit care in removing them from the fire! i dont like to get burned! smood sailing John! River must bee high whit all that snow melting ! Greeeeettssz A.D.
They are a little of white more creamy to the yellow beige i sayJohn, just put the second one in one of my early boxes the classic resonater ,need to get a volume control today, they are ideal for my four's. and give a heep of sound control whit the amps i got and playing whit the stomp boxes gives way better control!
Hi John,! Sleek it is, small and sturdy, the pickup i used looks like a soap bar pickup but they are
Dimarzio Bass Pickups
,you buy two for the price of one, about setup and electrification on my boxes this is it! think they are made in Italy look good and howl like BM whit a slide
A Happy New Year Uncle John !!
Just wanted to drop in to say hi !
I loved the Story about the Silvertone Guitar,
and I must say ,you have a good way of telling those tales!
Sounds daring! like person to person on your request ! Hats of John! how did you come up whit the plan, did they invite you at first? or did you ask at the place if you are aloud to? a bit like busking out on the street and see what they think of it! and these people look at your Video's To? i am surprised its like open territory for me , it must be partly a Cultural thing as well John, this way has his own History aswell? i suppose?
Its the Blind Joe Reynolds one they say he is the one the all draw from sounds pretty authentic you can even hear the lick that Clapton uses , and thanks for your comments on my CBG Nation chrismas compilation contribution ,on the subject ,is there a reason that you don't partisipate on that?? or to many in the past?
In this video I compare the three different wooden slides made by David Bell and Phil Young up against my Dunlop glass slide! I gotta say these wooden slides...
