THANKS jOHN ! Think its my best 4 string Yet, it takes me a lot of time but then the results are, well you know you try to avoid every mistake you did on your last build, not to make on your new, and the skill in making one is getting to a higher level, (i hope) you incorporate new ideers and change consepts , this one will not leave the workshop for along time.
I still have John two 50cc the one you see in the picture on the wall in the movie (after the new build) and about 4-5 blocks in spare parts! and it was tidy it maybee looks crammed, but its ottimal use of space,but it can bee overwhelming oll that eye candy i know, one is the studio, and the other is the cellar, i limited my self to these tree rooms,( you did not see the attic)cose you know what will happen to the house! greeeeettssszz A.D.
i geusch so! half the time he is pretty mysterious maybee he could not sing about everything like we do today, but if you dig in it makes sens, for me!
the same at the time whit some of the Johnny Winter songs when you see the map of the land he grew up on you see alot of names popping up that are in his songs.
Just the other day seen the Documentary about Janis Joplin when you see it all pasted together its like the dime falls, you get the grips whit how these things come about, just living it i geusch!
