    Hey Bob thanks for the comments on the build. It's AWESOME that Samster is working on a song.... Tell her if she sticks with it, the old mean guy from the pool will make her a 3 string....( I will want a signed copy of her CD)....I am pretty sure we can get Nix to play her songs on his show. Hell, if Shane does another compilation she could get on that.... Angel may not be at the jam this go around. We will just be getting back from China. It all depends how the baby is adjusting.... I am planning on it.... Love the latest recordings man they are great.... Paint it Black on CBG, is this a great country or what? Looking forward to seeing you all at the jam. Take care - Jim

    Hey Bob, Thanks for the skeeter advice. I had heard the "green wood advice before but I think I misunderstood and was using the green wood to swat the skeeters on my head.
    Painful, but it worked.
    I've always admired musicians and although I've been an artist in many mediums I could never wrap my head around music. But after doing a song collaboration with LaurieLeeCampbell on Youtube and seeing her play 3-string I thought, Hey maybe I could handle 3-strings. I still know zip about music but I sure am havin' fun tryin'.
    Question, Do you have any suggestions for strings and tuning to give my guitar a deeper tone. I have no idea what strings are on it now but it's tuned to B-F-B now.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Bob, REAL nice meetin' ya' !

    Whoops, I meant to say how impressed I am with your building skills.
    And I'm not easily impressed, I've been a woodworker/artist/tinker for a lo-o-ong time
    n' I've done and seen a lot. Very impressed with the machined Diddly-Bo and two-neck. WoW ! -Wally

    Well then, I guess I'll have to take back all those nice things I said about you.
    Guess I'll have to check out your page more n' find somethin' else to say somethin' nice about.
    Have a great weekend my friend ! Take care.

    Ice Bob,
    You should take an OLD CANOE put...
    A "STRING" UP the MIDDLE.
    Whack it with a Paddle and a TEA Jug.

    Holy CRAP BOB!!!!    Finding your page and videos this morning is like great Christmas gift.  I have seen  your face around the nation and at least on vid of yours in the past.  Today your tuning discussion got me going on your stuff.  LOVE IT! 

    Love Big Mary, Black Bettty, Ice Cream Truck, Mean Old Woman and laughed my ass off at Tiger's caught Cheating.

     

    Special thanks for the DGBflat (D) tuning.   Really opens up something new for me.  Right now, I intend to do it 3 string, and may try 4 later.  I like some minor key songs.

     

    THANK you and God bless from your new fan, John Bolton in Harlan, Iowa.

    Hi Bob, thanks a lot for your comment on my video...yeah I think you're right, as long as you mean it it's ok. When I just read the lyrics I think they're a bit corny, but somehow when I sing them it feels right!
