After a very long absence here is a little track to show that I have not been run over by a bus or something (at least not yet).

Jon Bickley (guitar and vocals) and I (cigar box guitar) play one of Jon B's compositions, "Jazz". Recorded in Jon's sitting room today (6/10/19). Jon is playing a Gibson guitar and I am playing a three string cigar box guitar (although only playing on one string on this track) with a Fender Mustang Mini battery amp.

That slide techniques marries perfectly with the chords and vocals. Great playing. Enhances the music without dominating it. Very tasteful. A+

Hi UJ, AGP and Buggy.

John. Thanks for the encouragement. I hope to edit them on Tuesday and Wednesday and will link on FB.

AGP. Thanks. Very glad you liked it.

Chris. How the hell did the crank come off? Maybe it was lubricating the chain that did it ;-) . I take it you were still able to get home OK and didn't need to call for a pickup.

Ah cool stuff that's what you were up to when you said you were recording the next day, thanks for the Cuppa T the other day, my crank arm fell off about 5 mins after I left yours .. ;>)

John,please post the mando songs on your FB page.  I will look for it.

Hi UJ.

Thanks very much for the comment. There might be a couple more once I have edited them. For the rest of the recording session I was playing mandolin (no cigar boxes were harmed), so I might not post those here, although they will likely be on my YT channel and I will link on FB.

You take care.

Mr. Maw.  Roadkill.  It's been too long.   You guys sound great.  Good song too.   Encore~
