    Hi Jocker.
    How do you resolve the wiring job?, Sir. I got 2 pick-ups for 2 projects. --I will post some pics asap--- One of them got 3 ends and the Hamburger one has got 2. I dunno which connect which. Potentiometer, switch, volume and tone knob and so..
    There I am... lol. In the middle of nowhere.

    cigar box guitars......its about the music and having fun!!!!...to easy to get caught up in fancy builds and fretboard this n' thats, rare woods and shinny 6 strings, same story in the regular guitar world....totally misses the point...its great to build a great guitar....but much more rewarding to make music with friends and smile....we can't be in the same room....but 1000's of miles away we can still collaborate togheter!....Send me My back stage pass to 12-11 studios...I wanna meet the band!

    Hey, i appriciate your offer for a mp3, i ended up running out of time to get cd's compiled for this benefit, but i am gonna do another benefit this summer, i will hit you up then and see if the offer is still up :)

  • Cris Portillo Jr.

    Awesome thanks man. Yeah it is so simple to make a Didge, all you need is a PVC pipe and some beeswax to make the mouth piece. The only tool you'll need is a hack saw and measuring tape. It took me about 2 hours to make it, hardest part (and by hard I mean messy) was forming the beeswax into a mouthpiece.

    Hey Joker, I'm a singer-songwriter / cbg builder / and BWJ fan in Nashville and saw the tribute thing...I'd like to record a tune for consideration...Last time I looked, 'Somebody on Your Bond' was available....  If I can't do that one, I'll do 'Oughta Treat a Stranger Right' from the choices that are left.... The deadline is April 17 - is that right?  Looking forward to hearing from you....Thanks.  ~ Joni

    Hey thanks for the compliment and the friendship. Grew up listening to punk in the 80's and that may be why I never took music 2 seriously or anything else for that matter. Really dig your experimental approach to music. Keep it up.

  • Joanne Crawford

    Hey Mr. Joker"  Sorry for the late reply.  I'm still finding my way  around the sites.  Great info.  I'm busy with my third build and planning the fourth already.  Don't play just like the craft and the sounds.    Any one out there from Cleveland?

    Hi

    I was told you have or tryed to set up a  net radio station. I am working on doing that sort of thing.

    I think there is so much talent just on this site it would be worth spreading the word.
