well, better to be a smart-ass than a dumb-ass. i could use some bass tuners, was just given a danelectro dano-blaster bass, missing the 2 left tuners. will send pics of your pup as soon as i get it finished. hint, it has a JP swedish flair to it.
Thanks for your kind comment on my videos. Yes "Bound To Roll" is just a little tune that I came up with . . but I was going for an old time traditional blues sound. Thanks!
Thanks JP, the reso crutch went to my daughter, a budding guitar collector. This was "the other crutch". They make a good platform for something easy and different.
hello there, first of all... "Excellantro" is hysterical. amazing. and second... if you want to use old video clips in reverse for your music... you can download allllll sorts of things from this website: http://www.archive.org/mediatypes-browse.php?mediatype=movies most of it is totally fine to use (legally speaking... and if you mess with the stuff that's not legal to use... know one will ever know ;)... and then if you have even just Imovie you can use that to reverse it, slow it down, speed it up... or if you go for the "big guns" use final cut!...(which I'm hopefully getting my paws on soon)! Thanks for all yr kind words :) ~Heidi
Hi JP. What' buzzin? Thanks for your comments on Cigar Box Guitar song. Have not seen your new video yet. Caution, after York Fest, there are likely to be floods of videos for a while. Hey, you have some photos I have not seen. Got to check them out.
Thanks JP. THe piezo sandwich is nice. Isolates it from the box so it only picks up the string vibrations. Does have a lower volume though so ya have to crank the amp more.
The square joke is less funny when you see the off center, crooked neck git in my shop. Sucker plays great, though. Thanks for your comments. I did write that simple blues.
JP, Rod is still in may prayers. Got an idea this morning. Really! I do want to go back to KC next year and I hope, get a motel room next to you and Rod. Do you want to get up and play a song or more? You may be ready by then - Bad To The Bone would be good. Or you can play washboards for me or pick a song I do and sing while I play-- what ever works. Going to make Toby the same offer.

JP, just let me know how many strings and the string spacing.
