Back on the CBG, cool! A new song for me, a sad one, delivered in classic Uncle John style! By the way, we will be doing “Can’t Roller Skate in a Buffalo Herd” next Monday night. I added the song to our songbook shortly after you shared it and someone chose it tonight! It will be fun.
Howdy, Steve. How is the blacksmith man? Yup. Snowing hard since around 0800 and said to last until 1800. I hope is not too wet and heavy. Will find out after a bit.
Getting some snow here in Newton. You getting any at your place? I did enjoy your video and it made me recall a CD of early colonial music that's laying around in the shop some where. Made three instruments the past 5 weeks and will finish a three stringer tonight. Take care and stay warm.
Sounds like a spring frenzy, Andries. I don't like too much traffic, but the rest sounds good. Snowing here, but not too cold. And SPRING is just a few weeks away. Or so the calendar says.
It's BEG# for key of E. That is with a GDG type guitar - fretted for finger chords. The string relationships are the same as my old standard 3 - DGB- also the same as the 2nd, 3rd and 4th string on a standard tuned 6. Andries, there are guys who can do just about any key with a GDG. I do better having several guitars and tunings.

Thanks, Doug. Will be looking for Buffalo Herd. Hope your group has fun with it.

Thanks, Rick. I am getting to where I can play the pocket tuba almost as well as the Iowa Sax.
Fantastic Uncle! The pocket tuba is especially nice. Great song selection, awesome lyrics.
PS: you must have a warm work shop, That is good. Would be nice to be warm inside working on a fun project and seeing snow out the window.

Yes, he was, Thanks, Derek. I will be sending our snow storm east toward you later today.
Are you going to Callyfest?
Nice cover, Unc. Townes was a true original.
