Messing with a rat-rod hub cap build a bit and changing my shop around. The short stories seem without ideas..... Had fun for a while, partly in thanks to you.

Any videos on the horizon?

At 5:18am on January 28, 2012, Leadfoot T said…: Cheers buddy, I've taken it it all on-board and have tried to remaster the vocals myself. I'm using ProTools and trying to get to grips with it all as never done anything like this but having so much fun! I may just take you up on the offer to try mastering yourself. If your up for a collaboration feel free to bust out a lead break where ever you can. The majority are all in A.

At 6:09pm on January 25, 2012, Leadfoot T said…: Hi Oily, The tracks are in the music player down the left hand side or click on my music. If you get five to listen let me know if they're any good, what you like and what you didn't etc. All constructive criticism greatfully received.

Thanks for letting me know about the video. It was worth the wait. It's great to see you and hear your playing after so long, and it was a great way to start your collection of videos on this site.

I have been struggling to keep up with everything that has been posted recently. A combination of work (photography) and making instruments. Now that I am starting to sell them (the first one went out a couple of weeks ago) I am putting a bit more time in. I am also playing around with a slightly different pickup arrangement, which looks promising so far.

All the best.

John

At 7:37am on December 13, 2011, Uncle John said…: Oily, thanks for your comments on the rant video. Great ones. Wise, funny and diplomatic.

At 9:46pm on November 25, 2011, smokestack guitars said…: O.K. just hollar at me anytime you get ready and you have a merry christmas with your family.

At 12:42pm on November 25, 2011, smokestack guitars said…: Ha,Ha thats funny. Well I guess if they were raised and sold in vidalia,La then that would make them vidalia onions. Dang man, you a long ways away from home!

At 5:20am on November 25, 2011, smokestack guitars said…: Glad to have you as a friend as well, however the onions come from vidalia,Georgia and I'm in vidalia, Louisiana. Probably not much difference though, both just small hick towns, except Georgia's up in the high hill ground and I'm intangled in a maze of swamps and bayous on one side and the mississippi river on the other.
