The weekend of Feb. 1,2,3 is the virtual (Imaginary) Cali-Fest.  It's fun, especially for those of us that don't get to attend a 'real' fest.

Hey, Kent!  Are you going to attend Cali-Fest?   I think Richard Sundberg might be able to use you at the diddley-stage show open mic.  Heck, he may even need a host.   Check with Dennis Goodlinson or Buggy on a ride to the best virtual (fake/phony - but fun) fest that I know of.

Railroad light - great idea! I’ve acquired an old 1970s cardboard cigarbox that I might turn into an uke scale diddley “very diddly bows” we call em.

Lovely color John. I have just finished a two string oil can diddley aswell Tuned Gg and I’m having a lot of fun with it. I think the 1,2 and 3 strings are just fantastic.

Diddleys are a good place to start building.  My two poor diddeys feel neglected.   I have kind of a rare one made by Pick and this Hudson Terraplane hubcap diddley with a n Elmar pickup.
