that's smart (keep the beard!)....!!!I'm not sure where you are in the world, but cold country? ....many young men are sporting beards, but the price of razor blades might have something to do with that.....YIKES! .. the idea captures perfectly the tone and the metal to metal transfer of resonance, achieved,,,!! any part of a vintage trailer suits me very well....one day I'll have another.... an early childhood imprint, my grandfolks, were trailerites,,,my folks had afew, my first trailer excursion taken at the age of 1...me, I love em as well, they are like dollhouses on wheels..........
love the new pics......after eating too much all day, I may have to write a song about the slice that put me over the edge, is it candy or is it pie? ........cinderella will be sweeping chores aside, ..not a blessed thing will get accomplished, but a fine lifestyle;-),,,LOL
Thanks! It was a fun gig.
I sent Gary Martin one of your soup can clips which inspired his Tabacco tin Harp mic.
He has sent me samples of his Mango Can Mic. His first one.
Sounded sweet!
thanks to responding to my blogs ,im new to all this ,thanks for the biscuit/cooky tin info i will try it soon . ps have you seen ben over the big pond on his home turf ?
howdy bro you like the zodiac banjo yes? it did come out kinda cool looking,,,i still have to make a back for it,might be hard to part with but only cause a friend sent the banjo hoop and neck to me,used the neck a long time ago but tried to use the hoop several times before and it just didnt work out till now,3rd time is a charm they say.any how maybe i can hunt up another hoop and build one for ya in the future,i still havent finished the cigar box guitar 4 stringer yet for ya but its close to being finished now. take care man i will holler at ya when the 4 stringer is finished---i think the only thing left to do is put frets in the fingerboard.
