Hey LL, I see you are still among the nation. I haven't been on here in a few years. Just thought I would stop in to see what is going on here. If you have time, let me know what you been up to. Take care.

I like that Johnny Too Bad... I love to play that on CBG too :)
thanks fer yer comment lourie lee bout the wirespool fretless banjo vid. the reason it sounds like it do i believe is cause i used wound nylon strings.course the metal from the tin wirespool also gives it that fat kinda tone too,thanks again.
I don't get on CBN as much as I'd like, too many irons in the fire. You know what it's like. But I just hadda' come by and say howdy to my mentor and very inspirational friend. I'm really enjoyin' listenin' to your beautiful music as I write... I miss ya'...sigh.
Best wishes to you Laurie ! :-)) A bushel n' a peck of X's+O's
THANK YOU so much for your kind comments. No, I'm not planning on selling any bamboo saxes at the moment. My process is trial and error, believe it or not, and up until a few days ago I have still been tweeking them. The lower pitched sax started out as an end blown flute! I've since built another flute. My birthday the other day went surprisingly well, by the way. It was, to be exact, transcendent, a really beautiful day! I say that without hesitation, and that surprises me somewhat. "Realizations and Certainties" pretty much sums up where I am at this point, which I think you picked up on. Like I've been saying since I lost my dear Dad 12 years ago, I'm taking things one day at a time. CHEERS!
Thank you for the kind and generous comments. I hope you are coming back to excellent health and happiness. God bless you, one of my very fave cbg people. :)
Hey,LL.. my first tube of Topical Magnesium Gel was sent to me from a friend in CA... from a health food store or her chiorpractor... can't rmember since then, i order them from www.bioinovations.net....
the site of Dr.Becker's BioNutrients....
or. find epson salts. dilute bunch into 8 ounces warm water...put in bottle..keep handy for when and if you start to get a cramp or charley horse....should nip it in the bud.
it is great for sore muscles, etc,but is a good way to get extra magnesium on you quickly. My allergies, aches and pains have lessened...especially lowerback and sciatica pains.
Feel better, girl, we love your music !!!
btw i am a Caribbean Girl, and that Johnny too Bad is very good-good....z.
Ill keep you posted on my progress. I have an order for one from a guy in Oregon and maybe one for his brother a guy I had just mer at a jam. So I will be building ore. I'll prolly stay 3 string for now. I do want to make myself a bass.

Hey Laurie Lee, that is a mighty fine CBG---new member of your family. Now, we want to see you make a video playing it.
Get that grass cut?
Cheers, girl.
