I really enjoyed the production and music.  Really happy and good sounds.  Nice playing too - must be the hat.  Purty geetar.  Very nice.  

I hope that neck feels better soon.  I was banged up in 17' and all better now.  I hope the same happens for you.- small prayer added.

Sorry to hear about your trouble. I’m getting old and feeling every pain there is. Somehow music keeps me going. I pray you’ll make a comeback.

Great playing Snuffy. I've been through 2 neck fusion surgeries, last one in 2011. I have a lot of nerve problems from the neck down, but I'm still walking. ;)

Had to start using thumb and finger picks a few months ago because I was having trouble holding picks between my finger and thumb. Fretting has started to become an issue and I've been doing slide more often or one finger bar chords.

Keep playing til you no longer enjoy it.

Hey all,


Haven’t posted in awhile. Been having problems with my neck (cervical spine).
 As a result, I had to stop playing the CBG. But I wanted to share this video from June 1st. This was the last piece I was working on before I stopped playing. I actually played this for Jim Morris when I met him weeks back. Anyway, I don't know about diving back into playing yet. My neck hurts too much when I play. We'll see what the future holds. If you could all say a prayer for me - "Hey God, let Bob play his CBG again. Please fix his neck." Thanks guy! Hope you enjoyed this ditty.
