Thanks James O. Good to see you too bud. Getting used to, or trying to get used to, lap style playing and using a bar is a whole different kettle of fish. Glad to hear that you heard something that you liked in there :0)

Thanks Dave. GDg tuning but it goes out of tuning really quickly and quite drastically when bouncing the lapsteel slide up and down across the strings. 10 gauge probably wasn't the best idea in retrospect lol. Glad that you liked it though. Thanks again :0)

Nice to see you Bear. Nice blues sliding ! What tuning? I liked it.

Thanks Uncle John. Glad that you liked the playing. About 5 weeks into counselling for this that and the other so my head is other places for the large part. I'm sure I'll be back and active again before long. Thanks for missing me my friend :0)

Thanks Silent Jim. Just finishing off the pine bed. I think this is the last piece now actually but it largely kept me active in trial and error on building my early guitars without paying out too much in wood coats. Glad that you liked the video and I'm going to have to look up JJ Cale and have a listen as I'm not familiar with that work. Thanks again for commenting and also for giving me a research project in listening to some JJ Cale. Much appreciated :0)

Thanks Andries. Playing through a hacked late 1970s or early 1980s JVC radio cassette player too. Glad you liked it :0)
