Hey Cadillac Steve, Thanks for your comment on "If Things Don't Change." The idea of adding the B string (to GDG tuning) s now firmly planted in my little brain. Is there one or more of your videos that use it?
Hi Steve. I remember playing the grooves out of an Animals' House Of The Rising Sun in the summer of 1964. Bout' the coolest song I'd ever heard. Funny how few people knew it was an old song at that time.
Thanks for your comments on my last video. But calling me Mr Clean! I think I know where you are coming from. A couple of my last songs were dirty blues. I have a holy side and a not so holy side. Gospel is a bit of Oh Lord and blues is a bit of Oh Baby.
it was a rainy day here...took the kids for a long drive past all the brown corn and trees just turning....listened to your blues disc...it was a nice mellow soundtrack.
I am a former six shooter guy from 30 years ago, and influenced by pretty much the same list of artists you talked about. I realized at some point that I wasn't going to be the next jimi hendrix and after raising the kids and a messy divorce I rediscovered my music.
still have the vinyl collection too! The 3 and 4 stringers are so easy to learn I fell in love with them right away. only been playing about a month or so and borrowed what little I know from fellow CBN members-------I think I will buy keni lee's cd------his vids are very cool. might need to add a reso to the collection?
Thank you Slowpaw Steve for your comment. Many times, the problem with selecting an object to substitute as a aluminum resonator cone is thickness. The resonator needs to be flexible. Stable enough not to cave in, but able to vibrate with the energy created by the moving strings. To me, a dog bowl might not be a good choice if it is too thick. Enjoy your research, Keni Lee
Hi Steve, I just wanted to say how much I've been enjoying your album 'Slowpaw Brew'. I've played it many times over this past week and it 'matures' with each sip!
I'm still fairly new to this CBG World and yet I am struck by the rich variety of music that is created by musicians such as yourself. There's enough on this album to appeal to a wide audience. From the foot tapping 'Diddley-Bow Stomp' to the thought provoking 'Arab Spring' A great drama in CBG form! (the lack of lyrics in this one is perfect, a kind of everything is possible, nothing is possible, time will tell!), then that long haul along the 'A1M'. My pick of the bunch for what it's worth, 'I'm So Drunk... Again', I've played this one to death and somehow it's still breathing.
Hi Steve - got the CD - some really quirky and topical stuff on there mate. Arab Spring caught my ear staright away but the others are all great. Look forward to seeing you again in July and hearing all your new music. Thanks, B
Very sorry. My videos stopped working so I re-did them on my page, not realizing they would also show up on the main page and displace others. Seems to be some trouble with video since the last change from Ning.
You'll find it well worth while using lighter/better materials.Tried it on a few of mine, this one has a box made from 1/16" thick walnut back and sides and a western red cedar front. It has best acoustic sound of all .
Model shops sell prefinished sheets of the walnut 4" wide and they aren,t expensive.Glue two one foot lengths together to make a nice back 12"x8",cut a length down the centre, thats your ends and sides

Sounds like you want to write a Christmas song... But just thinking... Do you know John Denver's 'Please Daddy, Don't Get Drunk For Christmas?'
Good song. Funny and sad at once.
