Laurie, I am deeply sorry for your loss. My mom is 86, in failing health and in a nursing home. We are as close as one can get, and soon, I will be feeling what you are. Know that you have many friends, and I'm just one more.
That is my second favorie video, as much for your vocals, which sound fine to me, and the unique chord structure. You and I are living parallel lives, Our folks to care for, tax time, not enough time to play and build these things.....check out my website www.barryevanruss.com to see what pays my rent. If I could, I'd build wierd instruments all day long but the Powerball is eluding me....later
I look forward to it. by the way, I just had to put your Sweet Potato Shuffle on my Facebook page. Hope you don't mind. I can't get enough of that Sweet Potato Shuffle. Infectious.
Hi Laurie - yes still ongoing as some people are recording stuff for me - I will have a sift through your videos again - need more female contributers as I have only bemusic at the mo

Thank you so much for your kind comment on my video! I'm glad that you enjoyed it!
Hey, laurie lee just found you profile and thought I'd say hey! Been lovin your tunes on u-tube for months, you and now this site are pretty much what made me give this inter-web lark a second go. Keep up the good er a hate to use a four letter word but here go's WORK! AD'B
Hi Laurie,
if you know how to play on a regular 6 string guitar you should easily master a few chords on a baritone uke . (tuning DGBE, like the 4 bottom strings of a guitar).
I have a lot of ukes but no baritone ; will have to catch up asap. yes i saw the you tube video : very nice Martin baritone( and quite expensive too ) , I also saw the site but i have to be reasonable ( i'm waiting to receive some instruments in the next weeks, also a CGB tenor ukelele). Think I'll have to make a break for a while ...or try building some myself. + i don't have to forget to spend enough time practising & playing!!!
all the best

For incredible pickups that won't destroy your pocket book, go to GuitarFetish.com and check out their line of GFS pickups. I use these in my guitars almost exclusively unless the customer requests something else.
Laurie Lee: I just checked out your 'Father Time' video. You do a good job playing the flat CBG. You've probably heard this before, but you sound very much like Natalie Cole . . . especially her rendition of 'Straigten Up and Do Right' . . . take a listen and tell me iff I'm nuts. Have a great day. Jess
Thanks Laurie,
CGB are not so well known in France( went to different guitar shops and luthiers in Paris, they didn't knew what a CGB is!!). ukuleles are becoming more and more popular in France these days.
at the moment I'm purchasing some instruments from Daddy mojo & back porch mojo( 3 & 4 strings at the moment).
Don't think i'm able to build some yet (always had problems to set up action and intonation on my string instruments) but i surely should make a try in the future.
all the best

Cheers for the invite Laurie, check out Paul Thorley's page you can see a lot more of what we get up to, I'm a little slack on updating but we're living the cgb life!
