Atta boy! You should record the Diddley Bow more though.
Lately almost everything I'm listening to is getting assessed into 2 groups, "playable on a bow" or "skipped"

HA!! The joker is his own biggest critic! Newsflash Joker, the vocals were fine! Repeat after me...The...vocals......were....fine....
Even if you miss a note, we don't care....

Thanks Joker. Saw your "Crossroads" vid earlier, sounding good man!
WillardJ, if you're playing a D/Bow or cbg and it ain't loud enough, touch the end of it onto a table or box or wall and listen to the volume change. Instant sound box.

Found me some volume.I've always known about "table amps" but today I was sitting, playin "Sunny" and it's ass touched a cigar box that was lying on the couch next to me. The volume tripled and the tone changed when I propped the lid up. You never too old to have eureka moments!
I LOVE LO-FI!!
