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

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