MoJo - FACT OR FICTION ????????????????????????

Posted on June 6, 2011 at 6:12pm 14 Comments 0 Likes

MoJo - The word is such a short simple word, yet it could possibly be the most powerful word that is used in the world of music today. So powerful in fact that I have seen it completely render men blind. So blind that they end up purchasing a raunchy, beat to hell guitar that sounds like crap for thousands of dollars. All due to an ad that explains all the MoJo that the guitar possesses. I can't deny it's power, just writing about it makes me want to go play. O.K. I'm back after a 30 minute… Continue

I was selling guitars at a Rock n Roll Flea Market in Kingston NY yesterday .
I started talking to one of the vendors who told me he has a Smoke stack guitar. He was kind enough to go home and get it so I could take it for a spin.
Bottom line. It was beautifully crafted and played great.
I've admired ur work for a long time and it was a pleasure to have the opportunity to play one of your guitars

Thanks for the kind words! But seriously, I think the gits are teaching me what they wanna play, and how they wanna be heard. When a song creates itself over a week's time of me noodling around, I know I'm onto something, and it's different for each git. This happened only rarely with my commercial six-bangers, but literally happens whenever I pick up a 3 or 4-stringer, and have a free hour or so. Sooooooo...maybe it's time for us to start talking seriously, as I can only imagine what one of your axes could teach me ;-).

Let's talk some after the new year about designing a custom job; I might be able to convince my wife that next year's anniversary gift should be a Smokestack, if I get her some more jewelry.

At 11:04am on November 25, 2011, jabes said…: thanks for the invite,like your stuff and the 'mojo' blog was fun, i have a pal who had to buy cheap copies of 'the usual' just to hang on the wall- so i guess they're his idea of Mojo, he cannot see the point in what people are doing on here, his loss i say.

At 4:32am on November 25, 2011, Ron "Oily" Sprague said…: Smokey,

Glad to have you as a Nation friend. I've been through Vidalia: famous for sweet onions,and now, your guitars. Absolutely love your work, and lust after an example. Have to wait 'till next year, as I've used up my allowable GAS (Guitar Acquisition Syndrome) budget with the better half this year.

i'll hit you up before i head down there. doesn't matter if your good or not. its still always fun to jam.

At 2:21am on August 31, 2011, Craig bluesbox williams said…: I like what you are doing. Do you jam much with other people? I come down to LA a few times a year and always have a box with me.
