Referring to flat pickups, I perceive a lot of statements and many points of views at CBN. Talking about points of views, I would like to share mine.

I want to explain my perception in a story about the housewife Eleanor who is baking cakes. For the avoidance of doubts, I am serious about my ongoing profession and the people around me, whether present or in an virtual…

Every December the past few years, my band has played in Palo Pinto TX, about 70 mi west of Ft Worth. It's county seat for the county of same name even though it's unincorporated. But it has quite a history as you can see from this small sample here. J. Tom Butler must have been some musician. This "cello" he built from scrap wood and what seems to be bailing wire (or piano strings) is a gem of Americana folk art and cigar box greatness. The bridge is…

Found an old mid to late 40's tube am radio & phonograph console at a local flea market this past spring. It was in sad shape. Decades of dust and furniture polish dulled the wood finish. The amp receiver chassis was filthy. The tubes/valves were covered in dust and old tape, the individual tube numbers written on them. One of the 4 wooden knobs had split in half.
After replacing most of the old paper in oil "oozing wax" capacitors and bad resistors and verifying everything else…

Series of recordings/screen casts on Riley's washtub guitar, then my washtub bass, then my walking stick banjo. Apologies for my playing, singing, and the video/sound quality. Just a funny idea I had.
And I have no shame so I'm gonna share
