Wabash Cannon Ball on Homemade Lap Steel

Here's Wabash Cannon Ball played on my homemade lap steel. Kevin gave me some coaching on the side and I think we'll see some gradual improvement in my posts. This was a tough song to record. I pulled out my hair by the tenth try and was pulling eyebrow hairs by the end of it. But it was fun none the less.

Hey Uncle John, What was it Mississippi John Hurt said in Richland Woman Blues?...
"Give me red lipstick and a bright poppy rouge" LOL

Cool, Mike.  You are on a good roll. Sounded super and neat to see your feet and the stomp boxes.  

Your hair is fine man.  Your eyebrows need work and some mascara and rouge would produce lovely results.

Thanks Kevin!  Yeah, I'll be down to pulling nose hair before I'm done I guess.  See Ya!
