Surfing the net while waiting for my first two CBG's to arrive that I bought from eBay, back in Oct 2009. There was a postal strike and I think I must have watched nearly every CBG video on Youtube and found THE NATION : -)
I noticed on one of your comments you were after a loop pedal and added the link to ambiloop, which I've downloaded. Haven't tried it yet.
I treated myself to a Boss RC20 Loop station pedal and I have to say..for me, I think it's much better than the akai headrush. My mate has a headrush and I've tried it.
Not wishing to be too forward, but you're welcome any time to pop round and have a go on the Boss pedal. It opens up a whole new playing field, definately one of my better purchases !! Anyway..the offer's there.
Thanks for the commen. No, there aren't as many women playing, but they just don't know what they are missing. I just love your sound, and am glad that I had the chance to listen to you play.
i've just listen to it and this is awesome! great songs seems you really work hard and enjoy making it, field of bones is stunning ! can't wait to get it , bravo !
Got the CD. It came really fast. Thanks to you and your mail room man, Dave. We put a better photo in the photo section. Thought you might get a chuckle out of this one when the cam went off before one of us (the slow one) was ready. :)
Thanks a lot. I could probably go back and find the tracks again to re mix it a little, but I did it a few years ago and might take me some time. I was just sitting here listening to your music!Wonderful songs, vocals and playing Be, nice!

We promise will be practising later but thanks for crankin' up the pressure! Thanks for the friend request too, I was going to do 'the honours' but we stayed on in Cambridge for a bit of sight seeing, so ya beat me to it. 'Til next time, keep up the good work. B-)
Shoot me Belinda before I become dangerous. Having a dim moment, I had seen you had made an amp out of a Belinda box and made the connection with the amp but not the fact that "Be" was short for "Belinda" hence the Belinda box ....Dohh!!
So to answer your question in a more sensible way, no I have no Belinda boxes :OD
I'm going to lie down in a darkened room for a while now.
Wow really love your sound! very inspirational. I absolutely love how cool this sounds. How can I get ahold of a cd or download. This is exactly the sound I want to be drumming to gotta show my buddies.
Thank you I appreciate that It was truly an honor. I showed my friend from work your music he digs it he plays bass but I think im turning him onto the cbg ROCK ON!!!
I just heard about your music entry reaching the top from another member here (gary herget) congratulations. Got my vote in! I enjoy all your songs, my favorite of yours is (Trying to do the right thing) listen to that last weekend while cleaning out my clutter.
Just got your CD! Thanks BE:) Second package from across the pond recently. I dig the postage stamps and markings, one of my long lasting pleasures sense I was a kid, I use to answer adds in the back of magazines just to get loads of mail. Got me a big royal postage stamp now. Got me one from Elmar in Austria, too cool. SeeYA!
Glad to see a woman in the group, it scared the heck out of me when i was in the middle of this comment and your music started up automatically, its the first one i seen that on this site. Great voice, and cigar box playing,
Dear Belinda, I am very sorry to hear about your fathers' passing. I had a friend who passed away 2 weeks ago and I sent his wife the link to one of your songs. Please take comfort in knowing you've impacted many lives with your talents and I'm sure your father was very proud of you.
Very sad to hear of your great loss Be, love to you and your family at this difficult time - my Dad passed away many years ago, we never stop missing them, but we learn to live without them. xx
Sitting on our porch we heard your familiar sound and voice coming from the around the world at some English radio station, you did not go unnoticed, love your music, i am still translating from a guitar tot he cbg three string but i keep practicing.
Any chance I can ask you for advice as things progress ??? Got two 3 string CBGs on the go at the moment but , you know how it goes, one waiting for a coat of varnish to dry and the other one waiting for glue to dry etc etc.
Then the next one will be a Bass. Got a 40" piece of hardwood ready.
