can you send me the link to the washington post.com video. I think I am playing a suitcase bass in the one that I remember. Not my normal instrument.

Hey Ben. Great meeting you at Bangkok Blues tonight. You tore it up!

I am planning on just sitting and listening to the music this time. I don't play hardly at all, I am mostly a builder.

Are you coming to Bangkok Blues tomorrow night?

I love your videos ! I look forward to putting something together with y'all in the future. Maybe at the new deal or at Sova (on H street).

Snakehead Run has a gig at the New Deal on July 16th but we already have an opening act. I will explore setting up something else.

Thanks Ben. I’m a fan too (as you guessed from the picture). I think I look like his twin brother, but my wife doesn’t agree. I think she’s in denial.

Ben - That sounds like it would be fun. We will keep you guys in mind as stuff comes up. Would love to hear some of your stuff too. Do you have any recordings I could share with the other guys in Snakehead Run?

But I'm always willing to play and jam with different folks !!!! I play washtub bass, jug, washboard (a little), etc.

Hey Ben: Is the Humidor Trubadours your band? Do you have a website, myspace page, or facebook links? If so, could you send them to me?

Ben the tabs are great, I would appreciate more, I'm not that good of a player so every little bit helps. I'll put in a request for some Hank Williams if you know any, or Johnny Cash is good too. Thanks again

Hey Ben! I'm ready to do a "Boxes on the Beach" whenever you are!!!! Shane's been buggin' me to maybe get something going down here too! Great minds must be thinking alike! Dos Locos would be a great place to hang as well! Yum! Now you've got me wanting a meal from there..... I'll need to go for dinner!

Hey Ben I make them and I just started selling them a few days ago.
They are 25 bucks and if you want one just add me as a freind and I can do the pay pal thing!

Thank you, Ben for the information and the warning. I will try to search Bill Monroe's version. I have a print out of In the Pines, but I don't know if it is Bill Monroe's version or not. Thank you for taking time to help me.
