I really like their approach. A friend turned me onto them a few years back by showing me videos for "Haw" and "Black Soul Choir". I really dug the music and the dark imagery. Eugene, the singer from 16 Horsepower; appears in two documentaries, one about himself which I can't recall, and another called "Searching for the Wrong Eyed Jesus".

I'm really glad you checked them out.

Hank, thanks for the friend invite. It is an honor. I enjoyed looking at all your builds. Some very nice work. I have a collection of tins to build but haven't done any building for quite a while. Got a wood lathe and been playing with it instead. I'll get back to guitars one of these days.

Thanks, again.
