Good Performance 'UJ', a nice combination of Swampy, Dave Lynas Slide, Great Song, some Pluckin' and a Slidin' and some Huffin' & a Puffin' on the Iowa Sax  :-D

Good thinking Diggly!  And thanks.  Meese?  Mice?

Nice rendition Uncle John.  Probably best stick to the Iowa saxophone.  You don't want the place full of Minnesota Mooses, or whatever the plural of moose is !

Glad you liked it, Dave.  But now I realize that I should have played a Minnesota Moose Call instead of the Iowa Saxaphone.

Wow, thanks Uncle John. You did a swell rendition 0f OL  97. Thanks for the show and tell too. Keep her Rollin Uncle. Linda too!

Happy Easter to all of you!

Thanks, Bones.  That's a purty fun old song, even though everybody gets mangled and killed.

Thanks, James O.  For some reason this was a bit tricky for me to play harp on.  Had to practice a bit. 

Thanks, Wes!

Yes, Bruce.  I have a collection of Dave's box art that I intend to display somehow.  Linda likes Dave's art so much that she just bought two fire slides and bid on a sun and moon plate that Dave made for a feed the hungry fund raiser.

Wow, T-belly Johnson.  That made my left eye leak.  Hmm.  Right one too.  I do best when I keep the accompaniment simple.  Some years back I went to an open mic.  There were some pretty high end players and singers there.  And there was an old man in his 80s that played very basic and had a C or C+ voice.  But he sang and played with feeling and had fun doing it.  He was the people's fave.  Thank you for the kind words.  I take them to heart.

I remember hearing "masters of the cigar box guitar" a few years back and about the same time as I first heard John. 

Not the best player, not the best singer but never the less so entertaining. I love the simplicity of your tunes and I love to see/hear the improvement since I first heard you.

"Masters of the cigar box guitar" had plenty of old time musicians who played and sang it raw, simple and full of heart. John you epitomise the whole genre. Keep it going my friend ;)

Even the package is a work of art! Nice playing Uncle.
