Thank you Slowpaw Steve for your comment. Many times, the problem with selecting an object to substitute as a aluminum resonator cone is thickness. The resonator needs to be flexible. Stable enough not to cave in, but able to vibrate with the energy created by the moving strings. To me, a dog bowl might not be a good choice if it is too thick. Enjoy your research, Keni Lee
I am a former six shooter guy from 30 years ago, and influenced by pretty much the same list of artists you talked about. I realized at some point that I wasn't going to be the next jimi hendrix and after raising the kids and a messy divorce I rediscovered my music.
still have the vinyl collection too! The 3 and 4 stringers are so easy to learn I fell in love with them right away. only been playing about a month or so and borrowed what little I know from fellow CBN members-------I think I will buy keni lee's cd------his vids are very cool. might need to add a reso to the collection?
it was a rainy day here...took the kids for a long drive past all the brown corn and trees just turning....listened to your blues disc...it was a nice mellow soundtrack.

steve...thanks for listening .it makes it worth while...i love that punch box build with those chicken head knobs...very nice.
Hi Steve. I remember playing the grooves out of an Animals' House Of The Rising Sun in the summer of 1964. Bout' the coolest song I'd ever heard. Funny how few people knew it was an old song at that time.
Thanks for your comments on my last video. But calling me Mr Clean! I think I know where you are coming from. A couple of my last songs were dirty blues. I have a holy side and a not so holy side. Gospel is a bit of Oh Lord and blues is a bit of Oh Baby.

Sounds like you want to write a Christmas song... But just thinking... Do you know John Denver's 'Please Daddy, Don't Get Drunk For Christmas?'
Good song. Funny and sad at once.
Cheers for the welcome, nice to meet you Slowpaw
