Like  I  said previously  the  sound  box  is a  fibre box  like  a  hard  card  but  the neck is  hardwood

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.

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.

This is excelent .The rich quality of Phills voice is perfect for this song and Phills arrangement is terrific .Well done both of you.

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

Great   ,has  a  Neil Young  quality  but  with  out the  whine in the  voice ,sounds  really  good .

Phill thats my very good friend Brian Viall the B in G B  my right hand man of many years.Sadly Brian is currently fighting the big C and is having a tough time.I hope he makes a full recovery and we can get GB back on the road I know how much he misses it.

Take care Bill our thoughts are with you and Dondra .

So l supose I'd better put a couple of greatful dead songs into the set? Any suggestions ,last time i saw em was 1972 at the Bickershaw festival in the UK  a couple of years ago I got a set of live recordings of their set from that gig but there at home in Greece and not with me in the UK

Ami please have a look on my face book page theres lots of photos of me and the band I would be honoured to let Chordie use any of them .I'm not sure how to re size them though.

Looking good Scott I have a squier and it plays better than my old fender strat but I might add not as good as my Yamaha Pacifica

How about  this  for  blues or  rock

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.

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.

Phil take a  writing pad to bed with you let your mind run free and if you wake with a lyric in your head jot it down the wrirers block will soon lift.Ive written loads of songs in my sleep,wdll it works for me.

Thanks Jim glad you like it .Dont know who the pic of col saunders really is I suspect it may have been Lefteris the bass player when he got married cos he looked a lot different then ,his wife Daggi does make exteemly good finger likin chicken though.Not to mention the black forrest gateux

Certainly shorter but as for darker its either a trick of the light or it needed washing lol,my kids sent me grey along time ago
