I just wanted you to know that I am disabled, was in a coma for three months. But now I make CBG's. GLORY TO GOD!! I could not do any art before the coma. Now all the Glory goes to God! Anthony Tony Adams
Dear UJ, I am a friend and neighbor of the late Dave Lynas, could you tell me where Dave would get his slim already fretted fretboards? I miss Dave so much, we would have coffee every morning. He would help me order whatever I needed. Could you help me with these frettboards that have the fretts already installed. Thanks UJ
Thanks for the comments ,Uncle John.Wow I didn't even now I had a uncle John!?! Yeah that box is cedar and really old, the price of the cigars was 15cents , so must hand been a long time ago. Looks like you've used some old boxes too.
Thank you uncle John, The more I read about Dave the more of an amazing person he seemed to be.
Its always been an ambition to play an instrument but work got in the way, now retired having been working with wood part of my life I can build and learn to play something I have created, its certainly got a grip on me.
Thanks for the invite Uncle John. I really don’t know what the heck I’m doing in this site - so un tech savvy. I tried to send you a message before but thought if I push “comment” it would then appear here. It didn’t. Maybe you already got my message (maybe more than once). Anyway I wanted to say Corsicana’s a cool enough place. I’m including links to Rope Walker Radio Show Corsicana episode if you’re interested. They’re kinda long (about 20 minutes) good music though.
Thanks!
