Here’s a pretty generic blues tune. It’s played on the revived Epiphone Les Paul Special used in some of my other vids and my latest homemade cigar box lap steel. The pictures are of my old demolition derby car, taken after two separate events. I put it back together after the first one and tore it up again. That thing was tougher than a pine knot. I drove it off the track under its own power both times. It was too warped up after the last event to salvage, but it was a fun ride.

Thanks John! I'd probably have to move the steering wheel of your car to the other side or risk bending the bonnet...  LOL. Have a great evening!

Hey Mike. If you are short of a car to drive you can borrow mine. Oh! On second thoughts.

Nice music and the pictures were fun.

You have my rusty mental gears turning.  Something about a Smashed Chevette Blues or something...

I woke up this mornin'

and my Chevette was all tore down...

Thanks again for the kind words and I'm glad you weren't hurt.  i actually got a couple of mild whiplashes in this old car on the video.

Thanks Anders! Hah!  I don't think Chevettes were famous for their impact resistance lmao.  Hope you weren't hurt!!!

Thank you Uncle John.  Red Clay Blues Man.  Dang I like it!  After messing around with the junk pile stuff I was threatening to change my name to EL Cheapo.  It would be pronounced El Chee - ah '- poe, rather than the conventional El Cheeeeepo, lol.
