Picture was an after thought in the back of a tent on a cold day. It is in color, enlarged and framed in our living room. Probably as interesting as I will ever look. So thanks for the compliment. Been building instruments for over fifteen years, writing music, most of a gospel nature and performing around town and at various functions, including our church an others. At seventy one I am happy to keep doing and sharing this passion of mine.
THANKS John ! lets hope Mr; D does not find the way to our door just yet! hope i have yet a other 25/30 to go before he knocks at the door ! But as they say you never know how the rabit catches the Cow! Good healing !!

Greeeettsszzz A.D.
U~John hope things will be better for you soon! Hi to Linda she probably is working hard taking care of you. Spring has sprung but you weren't suppose to take it litterly silly lol Meowwwww^..^
Thanks very much Uncle John. I am moving right along in my build. Thanks so much for the offer. It is much appreciated. I expanded my box today. It had rounded ends, which I really like, but it was so shallow, so I added another 3/4" to make it 2 1/4" thick. That should make for some nice resonance. It looks pretty good too! :) Thanks again for your offer. If I have to scrap mine, I may take you up on your offer. :) So far, so good.
This video is the unboxing and the demonstration of a beautiful, six stringer built by Louie Lamanna. Join Louie and I June 15 at the second annual Pittsburg...
