sounds like it works great, last thing i need  to do is amplify my harp playing, the local dogs would relocate.

Sounds good.  Linda just came by and asked, "Is that Bug?"   Distinctive, good sound on git, vocals and harp.  The harp reminds me of Hobostubbs.   Have not seen him around lately.   Good one.
