had to do a double take, one of your how to tune a brass guitar pics appears as tho the guit is on the ceiling!!!...thanks Wally for listens.......I have puter trouble...this morning had sound, now none.......
Actually mom called me JonBoy a long time before the TV show aired. When I started on the internet in the 90's JonBoy was already taken as a username. I knew a lady from Louisianna with the last name Bouye that was pronounced Boy so I started using it. It works for me...lol.
thankyou Wally-----:-) kind word on the vid...soon to launch another,, ....we expected a beautiful sunny day here, supposed to be spring like (think M-O-W)---think they sprayed the skies , yet again.........looking forward to brighter days.......:-) XosLaurie
Thanks for your comment on my rendition of 'The Soul of a Man'. Such a great tune. And once again, I'd like to congratulate you for producing what I think is one of the most fantastic stringed instruments I'm ever likely to see. Absolutely outstanding - and massively inspiring. Cheers Wally!
thanks for the comment profwaldo,on the hundred dollar cigar box build,i kinda like the old boxes more here lately-- it seems like i have several of them in a row lined up to build a cigar box guitar with them. my latest one is a wizard cigar box--still haven't got the neck and box together yet but when i do i think it will look and sound great.take care and thanks for the comment once again.
Thanks for stopping by and for your lovely compliments.
I grew up spending a lot of time in my grandfathers shop where i learned all kinds of great stuff using simple hand tools. If it were up to me, i'd be in my shop working away all day, every day. Love it!
I have a few pictures of my bracing in my photos. Shows how it all comes together. Great talking with you and if you ever want to get rid of some brass gears I could use some work out a trade or something. It was great to meet you and shoot the CBG BS

All the best.

I have to admit, when I clicked on your "Heavy Metal Guitar" video, I didn't get what I was expecting. :)
I grew up spending a lot of time in my grandfathers shop where i learned all kinds of great stuff using simple hand tools. If it were up to me, i'd be in my shop working away all day, every day. Love it!
Nope, i'm pretty sure it was me..pretty sure it was you too!
Nice to see you on CBN whoever we are. : )
