Well done Curt both are good strong songs and I too feel a little Neil Young influence there however being totaly constructive in my comments I must say that for me there is a little too much distortion on home of the brave I would like to hear the guitar cleaned up a littlle but if it was your intention to have a dirty acoustic sound then ok its still a good song ,keep em coming

I wrote the  first line  of  this as  they  took me  to the  operating theatre the  rest  came later .Just a  little  something    to  try  and  say  thanks  to  every  one for your  support .  Hope  you like it  I'll  type  the  words up  later  but  here's  a vid  for now     https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yzJE1Aede_o

As I've  progressed  my pedal board  has  got smaller ,In the  uk  if Im using  a shared back line  I  select  a  clean channel and  use  an old boss  be5  4 effect  pedal distortion /compression /chorus /delay. If I  use  my  own am I  use  a  line  6 spider   with  the  4  channels  programmed  to  clean /twang/ overdrive  and  overdrive  with  delay   ,same  applies  to  my  greek  set up  except  I  use  4 separate  joyo  pedals  instead of  the  boss  with  a  shared back line  .For  my  solo  set  I  add  a  boss  rc2 looper  and  a  zoom   multi  pedal for  the  drum loops  both  modified  with  external  switches  for  ease of  control. Occasionally I  use  a wah wah too  but  recently   not .

Ive just listened to this on sound cloud well done Roger it works so well ,I think perhaps a you tube vid of some old footage from the hey day of the minis success would result in a lot of exposure,Russell your video skills are needed.

made a  start  today   by  cleaning  the  box  out   some  one  had stuck paper inside the  box and  some  plastic  foam  as  it  had  been used for storing  fishing tackle I've scrubbed  the  box out  and now  I  can mark and  cut it  to  accept  the  neck so its  off to  the  wood  yard  for  some  oak  or  mahogany

New project  started  today   I  found  a  cheap  cigar box in an antique shop today  so  I  thought  it  time  I stretched my  carpentry skills
Next I need to  find  a  suitable  piece of  hard wood for the neck . This  will  be  three string  and  fret less  and I'll  probably wind  my  own pickup  as well .I  think it  should  be  made  as  cheap as possible  it  all  adds to  the  style  and  appeal of  an instrument like this.

I  have  just received  this http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B008 … 09_s00from amazon very  cheap   very  basic  but  it  works  great  ,Clipped it  onto  my  new LAG  acoustic tonight  super sound  only  down side  is the long  lead attached  to  it  so  at  week end I'll fit  a jack  socket  and  a  volume control total cost less than 10 pounds  for  pick up   volume pot and socket .
