I just wanted to give you a shout out for the stubby slides you make. They are some of my favorites because of their size, the evenness of their roundness, their thickness, the smoothness of the finish and the beautiful colors. They are top quality slides. I have bought 3 so far and even gave one of them away to a friend. I'm just waiting for them to come out in Yellow, Red, and Orange :) Keep up the excellent work!
I think a couple of things are at work in you making top content. First it's a very cool first solo build and your playing is great for just starting to play slide. Another thing, that we've discussed among ourselves, is the large number of old, retired, greybeards around here. For a lot of us it's wonderful to see someone who doesn't fit that description and has obvious enthusiasm for homemade music.
I spent a bit of time today looking at some of your pottery/stoneware vids. Excellent stuff! After looking at you ceramic djembe it got me thinking about a ceramic banjo. Wouldn't be too different from the drum, it would just have to have a hole for the neck to pass thru and a small hole on the opposite end to secure the neck with a screw. That would be a pretty cool combination of your skills.
This video is the unboxing and the demonstration of a beautiful, six stringer built by Louie Lamanna. Join Louie and I June 15 at the second annual Pittsburg...

I just realized you are Evolution Stoneware. Sorry... I don't always put things together. I have one of your slides. It's my favorite one. Thanks.

Hey Janis, this is the super short scale U-Bass.
