Taxi - Harry Chapin cover on 4 string Cohiba

I love this song by Harry Chapin, so had to try it on 4 string cigar box guitar to see if it works... so here ya go... thru a Microcube, guitar tuned DGBE, with a disc piezo.

Thank you Erasmo!

No apologies Unc, but she will never turn down salmon! lol

I'm not sure, Pick, her brother is also fluffy but he is orange. We did have a maincoon, who was a beauty too but lost her in the spring from old age. Yours is gorgeous! does look super-fly :)

Unc we have one kitty won't let either of us go near, but she lovers her feline bros and sistas. They are definitely entertaining and all unique.

The anonymous Fur Beast.  Sash-cat (sasquatch).    Looks like she flies like super cat.   Call that cat a Taxi.  

About half the time, our two black female cats won't let me touch them   When they are like that, Linda says they want to go live with 'nice people.'

is she a Norwegian Forrest cat ?  or maincoon?

here's my  Norwegian beast beauty  ;-)

Comment by Uncle John on October 1, 2016 at 3:05am

Yup.  My apology and a packet of salmon are in the mail.  She is not a fat kitty.  She's a beauty.
