Hi there Ken, Thank you so much for the thoughtful comments on my videos. I really appreciate all of them. I made the titanic video with my kids one afternoon so the light tone and whimsy was their imput into the song. Also I learned that song as a kid around a camp fire so I allways seem to hear it at an uptempo. I really appreciate your words on my last musician series. I am just waiting for the snow to melt and episode 6 will be finnished. I shoot with a very small crew of people and film mostly outside so weather is allways a factor. I am trying to work somewhere between parody, campy, and in a small way serious. I think there is a message in there someplace. I am also allways on the look out for music for my series. I only use cigar box music in it. So far I have been very lucky to get music from lots of really nice people here on the site. If you are ever interested let me know. I can think a lot of cool ways I could hear you in this project. Anyway, thanks again for your kind words. I will think about your comments on my vids, maybe I need to reshoot titanic at some point. Thanks for the thoughts to work with

Yes, Keni Lee it's about adjusting the fingerpicks to fit my fingers without squeezin'em to death or fallin' off while I'm tryin' to play. Also, I just uploaded a video on youtube and cigarbox nation of me playin' the walkin' base line on my 3 string acoustic guitar set up kinda like Seasick Steve. Thanks so much Keni Lee for showin' me how to play that piece and openin' up a whole new world of guitar playin' for me.
CD's came today! I'm already trying to absorb them. NOW I have to make a new 3 string to practice on (I've made 4 strings in the past).
Thanks for all of the lessons and tunes on You Tube.

Yes Keni, I am a member of your group and I look forward to learnin' much from you in the new year. Hope you and your family have a very Merry Christmas and a snappy Happy New Year.
I saw you had a video CD. A lot of the instructional stuff I have found assumes more musical knowledge than I have. I am sort of looking for something really basic that shows someone how to play a song or two. I don't read music, I suppose I really should learn! LOL So I an just wondering how basic your video is. Thanks..Dan
