Thanks for the friend request Willard. We all need to practice more, I've put some new song lessons in the course that may make that easier, check them out.
Thanks for the kind words, Willard. I'm in awe of your art. GREAT stuff!!
I like fretless too- for a number of reasons... not the least of which is after a lifetime of abusing my hands, carpal tunnel syndrome and now arthritis, I simply can't play chords anymore. It's cool, tho'... I like the whole primal thang, etc., and I'm learning something new (which helps to keep me off the streets).
The dog is a trip. In that photo, he was 5 months old and less than 30 lbs. He's now almost 4 years old, 100 lbs., and as cRaZy as ever. : /

Yeah Trashmun Johnson is my alter ego. Glad you like my playing, I'm working on a 2 screwdriver technique now. And I have a p/u, but my amp cord was broke @ the time. Like ya said, I'm a Diddley Bow man!
