43 (glenn kaiser) quick demo
Bags are packed, and I
Got to fly
You know it's true
An' you know why
Only thing about it
We got to be apart
Be sure I'm with you
In my prayers an' in my heart
For 43 years
In joy and in pain
In heat and in cold
Sunshine or rain
The road has been long
But you know it's been good
Still in love with…

Bro Glenn,
I am building a CBG site-not commercial- and answered a question of how I got started with this and the answer is that I have been your fan for a long time and found you on a YouTube link to see what you are up to now.
i posted that YouTube link on my site TunesFromTrash.com and hope you approve of me using it.
My other site is JesusChristExalted.com and I would like to reference your GRRR sitee there, please.
Thank you,
Jack

Glenn: I was impressed by pics put up recently of a 5-gallon bucket bass, and (I think) your name was mentioned by the builder, thanking you for the idea. Do you have plans for such a bass that you could share?

Glenn,
Thanks for friending me! Beaver Dam native! I'm an Illinois transplant from 74'. Still love cheese! I own an audio studio, I rec. singer/songwriters and recently started recording bands. I re-mixed and mastered Shane's Empty Wooden Box. Shane dropboxed the files and I loaded them in Logic...

Cheers Glenn, for your comments. Interestingly, we've done gigs in your neck of the woods - Chicago that is, organised through our good friend J. Brian Hill. We keep saying we need to go back at some point.
Thanks for the tips re wood. It's not usually socially acceptable to raid rubbish (known as "skip tatting " locally over here) but it's certainly not illegal. So I'm just going to have to defy social convention and go for it!
