Big Boss Man ~ Demo of Ratty Yellow -cover of a Jimmy Reed hit written by James A. Williamson

This was a shiny and pretty guitar that played poorly. It has been rebuilt and 'rat-ified'. Plays pretty good now. Probably will be gifted to a good player in a near by town.

Thanks, Bob!

That was "ratifyingly" enjoyable to listen to Unc J.  Great job on the ratification too!

Thanks, Danny.  It has gone on to a better musician than me.

Thanks, Doug.  That now cut off tee shirt was a gift from and English CBG guy, Brian.   His wife is from Des Moines, so I got to meet them some years back.   Good folks.

Classic “Uncle John” style. You were gettin’ into it! Nice t-shirt too!

Thanks, Alan.  Partly the biking.   That and just eating better....  Even though I work out a couple days a week, I am slowly losing muscle.  I guess I just try to slow down the loss.   Knees like me being a bit lighter.

Just converted that 25lb loss to kg's, and "WOW" that's 11.3398kg's in my speak, was that because of your recent Bike Riding exploits ???  :-)

Comment by Uncle John on August 19, 2021 at 3:04pm

Thanks, Pat and Alan.  Yup Pat, about 25 pounds.  Alan, I do like fours and threes.   And this one fingers pretty good for a fretless.

Yep!, good rescue by the Mellow Fellow dressed in Yellow, it's got all the elements I like in a CBG, 3 Strings, Fretless and Mag Pup,  :-)
