Goodbye, Old Friend

Recorded on 8-23-2014 on one of my early 3 string cigar box guitars.
On 8-24-2014, at 3:20 a.m., this instrument was destroyed in an earthquake...
along with a bunch of other stuff.
Video made in a hotel room.

Knowing you had been through a quake, the title scared me.   Sad.  Like losing a friend and a good sounding friend.  Good vid and it sure fits the situation there.   Wishing you the best too, and offering a cbg if your collection is low.

Sorry to hear that you got hit by the earthquake and hope that you're OK, Clock !

I was just reading about this - sorry to hear you were affected Clock. You gave that guitar a good send off. Sounds more melancholic than usual...
