Mostly OK but still pretty damp in the low lands I had to make a big detour yesterday as one lane I use regularly still needed a boat to get through it.

Topic: Cigar box guitar day (9 replies, posted in Guitars and accessories)
I went to Kendal in Cumbria today and found quite by chance in a book shop called The Works a cigar box guitar kit for 30 pounds ,so I bought one.Assembly consisted of stringing and fitting top nut and bridge ,it came with a glass slide ,a built in pick up and a backing cd.Down side was the neck was a little rough on the sides ,which I soon sorted and the cigarbox transfers are pvc stickers.
It sounds pretty good but feeds back a little at high volume. I may strip it down and decorate it my self later but for now its good.

Nicely written Phill and a very good solo ,for me I would have edited it to about three mins twenty but that just the sort of length I write a rock n roll song .Good content with a country feel.Well done again

Re: What would you do? (22 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
It can be a difficult decision to make .On a bigger scale ,but still with the same relevance,my band we to play support to two very big bands at a festival ,but due to the egos said bands who I wont name ,our slot was cut .The other support band a UK based tribute ac had arived with out any instrument as the organisers had prommised to supply them.The organiser had the nerve to ask if we could lend them ours as we would not be playing.
My answer. F###k off.
How ever among freinds the answer would have been use mine.

Re: For No One (13 replies, posted in Bands and artists)
Thanks for the comment K.I might addit into my boxing day set at the village pub ,unless I can find an Rc 3 looper then Ill play the whole set electric .Its difficult to know what acoustic songs to include to pad out a 50 min electric set to two hours ,my current looper only holds 11 tracks ,so that plus the 3 in my trio only gives14 and its not enough.
