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!

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!

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?
