Yep! 'UJ', I love the Diddley's, started the new year off with this one, and the next one will probably also be a Diddley, albeit a bit different from what we are used to, will start it after I finish re-arranging my Music Cave and Sheds, to fit in more 2022 Builds ;-D
I sure like diddleys. I think that a lot of us gift CBGs and way too often, they don't get played and people even lack the means to tune them. Maybe a diddley gift is more usable and tuneable for gifting to non players.
