hey ryan hillbillyhobo here thanks for you kind words on my oreo just saw your photos and thought they were great the girls are pretty too the one you built for aunt mary was my favorite a really great build
yes guess. if you want to nominate someone else go ahead
Ryan,
Thanks for your kind comments on the 61 Hi-way guitar and video. I used a 32 for the gun in the song for several reasons. There were a lot of top break cheapie 32 revolvers back in the heyday of blues. That caliber seems to be mentioned in some old songs. Robert Johnson had a song about a 32/20.
I actually have a U.S. Revolvers 32. Not a shooter and impractical to repair. My favorite carry pistol is a Keltec 32 that is light and small and I forget it is in my pocket. It is reliable too and I can hit a torso sized target at 8 feet away!
John
Hi,
Thank you so much for your listening to our music and the comment.
Best Regards,
Tj
