Thanks Sammy. Should be a good song for you and on uke.

RTZ, love that sexy photo. Greg Brown is an eastern Iowan I am western. Haven not met him, but like his music. Am also a big fan of his wife, Iris Dement. Will take and post a photo of the head stock doo-dads.

Thank Mr Jim!

Anders, you are a musician. A real one. I think the blues may creep up on you yet.

Reeds, I was studying that tat and briefly thought Slim had a cbg - but on second look, he's saying 'CBGs are #1!

Doc, I just don't know what to say about those shorts. I heard you play and they work for you. Guess that's the blues.

Thanks for the comments, guys.
