That looks and sounds great. Good playing, Jim. You sure know a lot of good old timey inster mentals. I am with Bob on the claw hammer brain and finger disconnect. But I still try a bit.

Very nice instrument and playing Jim! Always wanted to learn clawhammer style but my brain and fingers wouldn't cooperate. It's a pleasure to see and hear someone else who can. Thanks for sharing.
