Happy Sunday. As I mentioned previously, the Hobo Fiddle isn't very loud and you can tell in this video. Honestly, I'm not super happy with this performance but it was wet and chilly so I wanted to go inside, LOL. Anyway, here's a tune on the new Hobo Fiddle.

Thanks Tim, AD, and Nancy. Smilin' cat just made my day. :-)

BTW Nancy, I don't know if you saw my Hobo Fiddle build & demo video, but my cat sneaked in there at the end. It made me think of you.

Always loved this tune. Nice job on the cover. My mom and dad had this 70s Lincoln and they built a padded box for me to sit on , upfront between them ( before safety) LOL like didn't even think about meee! Anyways I would tap my foot and move around on that stool when Cannonball would play on the radio....later tater texan

I like the sound, maybe use a mike in front of it, or change out the strings for steel ones. Don't know though, what wood the for the neck is. I have a mountain tenor to finish up.

Glad you guys liked it. I debated not posting it because I thought it was pretty bad. I guess it doesn't need to speak to you to speak to others... as they say.

Good job and song choice.  That little hobo guitar has a good voice!
