 As much as I like pulling people's legs, I got it A.D.. (grins) UJ was mistaken. Just means your visual effect worked. Be reading, and listening to you too. "I got my eyes on you." -                        John Lee Hooker

Thank you for your comments

Andries, I do appreciate the kind and encouraging words. As you know so well, making music is such a rich and rewarding adventure. It’s more accessible than many realize; so I keep at it. It’s truly a delight making music with others. Your versatile playing inspires me to work on doing more than just strumming with my playing.

At 9:29am on June 10, 2023, Doug Thorsvik said…

Andries, The potential is probably there. Not sure I’m ready for full scale production, but I do like having kits on hand. They allow me to put an easy to play CBG in someone’s hand quickly. I’m happy to be a small time operator.

Greetings A.D. sorry I missed your question about the ceramic banjo on an old blog post of mine. I did not build it, it was hanging in a pottery gallery in Weaverville, NC. Its builder is a skilled potter as well as a terrific musician. It sounded much better than I expected. Wish I had the skills to build it! 

At 2:24am on May 22, 2023, Doug Thorsvik said…

Thanks A.D.! I always appreciate you checking out what the Slingers are up to.

Thank You for sharing. I like the sound of Voice recording in your video very much! All other components are very good also. But Voice is something :o)

Thanx for the comment Andries, I know for a fact that every video Glenn Watt does is in GDg tuning, which is the default tuning for CBG’s at the Nation. When in doubt check it with your tuner, chords are G/A/D?
