A month or so back, Kris Boll and his fellow students Emma Whalen and Karl Dixon came to spend a day with me at my workshop to do some filming for a coursework project - here's the result.

Finding the time to sell guitars is easy..they take no time at all to sell really...sold 9 of 'em yesterday...it's making them that takes up a lot of my time. As well as this film, I was interviewed last week for Musikermagasinet, the leading Swedish & Scandinavian music magazine for their July blues and jazz special edition.

Unbelievable!! 780 CBGs - when do you find time to sell them? Good luck for the future!

Thanks for sharing, it's hard to fathom 700, I just finished #3. It's so cool to see that this new found passion can turn into so much more.

Awesome vid John! I've always admired your work and music!

I'm hoping to make a trip over to see my Mofo Bro's Paul Smith and Andreas Riedel this year if everything works out. Would love to have a sit down with you if I'm in your neck of the woods, hopefully take in one of your shows.

Thanks for the kind words, but it really is down to Kris, Emma and Karl for making this look and sound so good. As for that tone....one of my guitars, a Chickenbone John Diamond bottleneck...and a Roland Microcube. Guitar numbers are in the high 700s now..a little behind schedule as I've had a few weeks away in Japan to see my younger daughter, and I'm still getting over it. The trip took a bit of a toll on me as we packed in so much into our time there...but back to reality now.
