Funny about the slide part  - it just comes in so strong.  Go with yer gut next time!  Good idea on the Marty Stuart quote for lyrics.

Really diggin' Shaken Not Stirred.  Bringing the funk. Lyrics are great as expected. Conspicuous consumption consumed all my gumption is a heck of a line. Bass vox are perfect. I could've used a little more of the slide through the end of the tune, but that's a minor quibble.  Fine job Oily.

Thanks, Ron. The two Kodakanjos in the pic are already spoken-for, but I'll keep making them until the cans run out! PM me and lets talk, I'd love to build one for you.

I've always favored the Martin's but the Taylor I played yesterday blows everything else away. Our guitar player plays a Dana Bourgeois dread. She got it when we started playing together maybe 6 years ago and I never liked it until the last few years and it has opened up but the Taylor way out performed it.

Congrats!! Havin good instruments is like havin good tools and I just won't buy cheap stuff anymore

Hey, Ron

I scored a 1966 Mississippi license plate  in an antique store. Making a license

plate guitar like merle, but I just couldn't make it out of a new one. It has to have

that total old print look for me as well.

Thanks for the info on the capo, looks like what I need. I bet you know about the

oilfield having lived in Eldo. Maybe you work for ARAMCO over there or know of

that company. Thanks , Buddy!

Hey, Ron, It ain't hard, we're playing cigar box guitars!. The tuning is GDGD which

makes me rethink guitar technique. Actually it makes some things more simple. In the

case of this song, or crossroad blues, or lots of others with a similar vibe that banjo

style tuning lets me play the bass behind the lead. However, I've got to expand my

tunings soon or I will hit a creative wall. Do you know of a capo that works well with

extra thick necks such as on my guitar? I'm searching for a simple but effective one.

Thanks! Ken Hale
