Know the problem Joey, I still have 14 guitars,4 amps, 3 PA systems  and numerous accessories in my Greek house to bring back when the sale goes through. There is no way that  all my gear and instruments are gonna fit in our UK cottage ,I have 9 here and 3 amps .a selection of pedals mics  cables etc already   and only an 8x4 spare room to keep it all in.

Got  the EKO out  of  its  box  and  gave  it  a  clean and  a polish ran through  a few  numbers  ,this  guitar  has  such a  mellow  tone  I  really  love  it sounds as good  amped  as  it  does  acoustic wish  I  had  two   then i  wouldnt  worry  about gigging  this  one .

like  it   a lot

high  E's  recently  as  martin strings    seem to  be having  quality  problems  on the  light  gauge ones  I  might  be  tempted  to  change  to  another  manufacturer    if  it  happens  again .

Very good  Phill there  seems  to be  a  growing movement  in this  country  again ,lets  hope  it  continues.

cigar  box  guitars  sound  great  I've  built  several  instruments  of this  type  over  the  years ,great  fun .

Just  seen this  song  Phill  , I  like  it   very  well  written   just  gonna  print  it  and  give  it  a  go

Thanks  for  the  comments  on YouTube Bill ,made  me smile.
Re  the  weight  of resonators  ,the  one in the  vids  has  a  wooden body  and  is  pretty  light but  I  have  a  gold  plated  Steel bodied  one  which   weighs   very  heavy  but  sounds  and  looks  amazing .I  also have  a  resonator  bouzouki   which  is  nickel  plated both  came  from Ozark  guitars  in the  UK  and  I  believe  were  made  originally as display models ,although  a  few  weeks  ago  I  came  across  a  very similar  guitar  in York which  was  gold  plated  but  it  had  no  pickup  or  the  ornate  mother  of  pearl inlays  which mine  has 

Cant  wait  to  hear   it  Bill  I'd give  it  a  shot at  putting a  tune  to it  but  Ive  got   the  Pickering  Beer  festival  to  play  at  and  two  gigs   for  the  we shall overcome  events  and  then I  think  were   back  to  Greece  for  a  few  weeks to tie  up  the  loose  ends  there .So  realistically it  will  be  mid November  before  I  have  any  spare  time.

I  think  being compared  to  a  successful artist  is  a  great  compliment  in most  cases and  it  often  shows  where   your  influences  have  come  from and   despite  what  some  might  say  we  all  have  influences   ,sometimes  these  are  submerged  either  on purpose  or  un intentionally  but  they  are there all  the  same ,I  would  say  my  influences  come  from a lot  of  the  60s uk  blues bands  ,Lou Reed , Pink Floyd  and  Jimmy   Hendrix , but  as  I  have  a  strong  back ground  in uk  folk  music  then sometimes influences  from  artists  like  Steel eye  span  ,Fairport convention and  Mike  Harding  often show  up in my acoustic   stuff.

Got to agree with Bill re the chorus and bridge as part of the structure of the song it helps to engage the listener  especialy in a long song I'd like to hear a guitar version  mainly because I'm not a great fan of the uke for a serious ballad like this one,having said all this I do like the content and your delivery ,your voice is good and has a distinctive tone .Very well done
