My Ruff ‘n” Tumble One String version of an all-time classic Delta Blues Tune “Rollin’ ‘n’ Tumblin’ Blues”, played on a very early build of mine from January 2014, and “it is what it is”, Cheap ($6.65), Bad & Mean & Mighty Unclean, and as some people I know might suggest, not unlike the Joker playing it! :-D

Lots of beefy tone from that slab Alan. Nice smooth and accurate sliding.

"Thanks Bones", probably only a fellow Aussie would pick up on the "Louie the Fly" quote!, :-D

Cheap n nasty .... no such thing in the CBG world AGP , Louie the Fly would be proud to slam out some Tip Face Blues with MoFo build .

"Thanks Danny Boy", To Quote Seasick Steve: "its just a piece of wood with a string nailed on it, and it sound like shit"  - But! I like it! :-D

"Thanks UJ", Probably more Hysterical than Historical, but it is a double recycled build, the original dozen or so Saw Stools/ Horses were built by me from recycled timber I "found" on building sites, and then deconstructed on retirement and used on quite a few of my builds, including this one!  :-)

"Thanks Poorness", Yep!. sometimes 1 String is all you need!  :-)

Comment by AGP # on December 7, 2019 at 8:30am

"Thanks Dave", might have to rename it "Ronnie Wood"  :-D

WHAT?...That diddy would work to open up for 80% of the Rock groups on tour!...raw meat for a pit bull!

Comment by Uncle John on December 7, 2019 at 2:26am

That is a historic looking and very cool insterment (and player too.)    Roaring out the power.  I think you just woke the baby.

Comment by Poorness Studios on December 7, 2019 at 2:20am

Heck yeah! I dig any video that features a diddley, especially one like this. Love it!
