Bob,

Thanks, yes, this is a Wichita Sam original... it was the song this CBG wanted to play, so I had to write it... ;-)

the best,

Wichita Sam

Thanks guys... the low down on those strings are the 6-4-3 strings out of as set of heavy (11's) electrics (Fender I think)... Three stringer... the "E" string on the top mop handle and the "D" and "G" on the bottom mop handle.

I have it toned open "D" D - d- a

It's going to be a while before I'm playing anything complicate...if I ever do. Really makes you appreciate the Pat MacDonalds of the world...

thebest,

Sam

I love wooden stick necks.....awesome! Check out my wd40 oil can guitar. It's different that's forsure. Is that a two stringer? So is mine..

Sam, great song, provocative lyrics. But then the truth always does! I'm glad you posted it. I'm off to worship team practice to play my VIKster cigarbox style bass.

Thanks... that is just how dark that particular CBG is.... I doubt I'll ever use it to sing "my favorite things"....

the best,
