  • Thanks Southern Ray, well they're so fun and quick to build and for me the challenge is what can you do w. only 1 string and a slide? For me it's inspirational. I've used cardboard shoe boxes, Altoid tins and you-name-it for the body. Fun! -Glenn

  •  Very cool story, Glenn! Good to see you again!

     The diddley looks like the only CBG that I ever sold, though mine was an accoustic. Sold to a very excited young college student. I miss it, but got an enthusiastic kid that wanted to learn about diddleys,  a diddley bow. (That sounds a little naughty) It would be hard to find one here.

  • As for blues, also thx. Lots of peeps don't go far in studying so don't have nothing but MY FAVE and that's it. I get that but the world doesn't dance around the illustrious "me"- HA! No way to love my neighbor when it's all about me and my gig. -Glenn

  • Thx Doug! Simple "take-down" as a chap. asked me to build and play during a set behind bars. I reminded him they won't let tools in, so I bring it w. pickup attached, tuned, and w. a slide. During setup slide neck out (box glued shut)  then re-assemble to play. Going to re-do w. the darker box. -Glenn

  • Thought provoking blog entry Glenn! I like the Diddley bow too…
