Hullo all, Eddie Tuleja (native and former resident of New Jersey) and myself recently released an album of 5 original songs all about significant events and places in Tasmania. The album is available for download from most online music retailers. I would be happy if anyone could have a listen to the songs ..even if it is just previewing them...and give me some feedback (sorry no CBGs featured..yet). If I was clever enough I would have attached one of the…

Mr. Key is a super nice guy who generouly has let me care for his lawn for the last seven years.

He agreed and I convinced the tree company to let me have the trunk which I took to a…

After a recent forum discussion got side-tracked by an online vs face-to-face teaching argument I thought I'd present some actual evidence. Some may not be interested, if that's you then I'd suggest you move on, it may get a little dry. If not however, or if you think I've just got a barrow to push.......
I've studied this for a number of years now, it was a major focus of my undergrad music ed degree and since then I've learned a whole lot more, through studying the research…

Although there are not only cigar box guitars, but the idea of hand-made instruments appears at the first place.
Małe Instrumenty (Small Instruments) are a band exploring new sounds using a wide array of small instruments. The instruments used in their sonic experiments feature an ever expanding array of professional instruments, sound toys made for…
I am still trying to figure out the notes on an open D, 4 string in relation to reading music scores.
Does the first D string note fall below the position shown on my chart?
Where is middle C on an open tuned 4 string CBG on the chart below?
So where do the high notes occur on a music score then or are the duplicates ?
If…

Well that just about wraps up the touring schedule for 2014 for me and Mr Belly..a quick trip over to Belgium and the Netherlands for 3 gigs and 2 workshops, and a mere 1300 miles under the wheels. Huge thanks to Ozzy VanDer Loo of Chulahoma Music and Hans Siongers of Cafe Pallieter who arranged things for us, and for all who came along to make guitars and to listen to us. It…

Hey Turkey eaters, I usually don't play the "like" game on the inter web, but in the Durango songwriting contest I'm a finalist in a portion of the winner is based on thumbs up on their you tube video. So if you feel like showing some support, click on this video and give it a youtube Fonzie thumbs up. The winner of the contest gets $10,000, a new wardrobe, a guitar and tons of other awesome stuff. On my normal budget I could record around 7 albums with that money. Thanks guys! If you…
