Still working on the lyrics, think I have the basic chord structure down. Maybe next week; tomorrow's a busy day, and Little League baseball spring season starts on Saturday for us. But it will be coming, another original. I started playing around with scratch vocals, and I've got this kewl kinda Warren Haynes thing going that I've never had before - must be the Bb tuning I'm in - real easy on the voice, yet sounds bluesy - lyrics seem to want to be about rain, sitting up on a housetop while the river slowly rises, floods, general mayhem, I dunno.
Thanks, James. I broke down and bought a tascam 4-track. Amazon has them on sale for 149 dollars. Mixed my cigar box with National guitar and stomp box. Can't wait to do a real recording when I have time.
Thanks for the comment bro. yes that is a sungrown box it has a solid mahogany neck fretless. I only have 2 strings on it now kinda like a 2 string bass.
I and my french friends WISH YOU A VERY LONG LIFE on nation, youtube, or everywhere else you want to exist... I know Jim was looking for you too, and was waiting for that moment... what a marvelous Christmas... Welcome James...°<[:-D[---]==={
