guitar, box, cigar, shindig, cbg

Recorded this direct to the camera microphone so the mix and audio quality are a bit lousy - but you get the idea.Playing my newly built 3 string that I finished a couple of weeks ago. Features one of Elmar's excellent low profile 3 string pups (klangbox.at).This short and sweet tune is a new one I'm working on for next week's shindig in Devon. Here are the lyrics...Give Me a SignYou're lookin good there honeyYou're lookin fineLike the way you shake that thingWon't you be mine.You got your eyes on meWhen I look at youWanna get you home tonightSee what you can do.My motor's runnin fastI'm on the lineGonna put my foot on the gasIf you give me a sign...

Stompin good. Like the lyrics, the shirt and the back ground gits. The one on the right is interesting.... Once again I have stomp envy. Heard a piano player today and I have pianist envy. :)
