"Well Done Rev", I'm a big favourite of the Duane Eddy version, but also like all the many other recordings from Burl Ives, Vaughn Monroe etc. etc.,.........................................................
Gary, easy one: I put in a coupla' buttes and a couple of mesas. (I hope that clarifies it for you. :D) “Cowboy, change your ways today, or with us you will ride!”
Incidentally, I've made a few toothpick-fretted cbgs; I think they're great. They're easy to do, and they work well. I'm guessing prospective, paying customers would hafta dig the funkiness, however.
Thanks all! Yeah, I'm think the right can would easily lend itself to a 3-string canjo! Richard, I was recently introduced to the toothpick fret concept by Rob Hillbilly Ingram and Merrin Mourning (SkeletonKey Guitars) at a guitar show in Springfield, MO. I can attest to them on canjos - they'd most likely work in conventional CBGs as well, but I may stay with metal frets for those, at least for the time being.
Jim - I'm still WAY intimidated by the prospect of singing while I play! At least for posted videos!

Thanks Derek!
Sounds good, Rev.
Thanks much, AGP! The Blues Brothers did a nice version as well!

Rob - thanks! Not sure which version this was!
Jim_in_Tuscon - I do like how the toothpick frets work! And it is sort of amazing that they do! Perfect soundhole on a M*A*S*H gitty!
Ghost Riders is one of my favorite Johnny Cash songs.
Great Job.

By the way, Jim (in Tuscon), that a beaute! (Or maybe it's a mesa?)
