sounds great as always, mr. o! i'm diggin' the hat. yeah, unfortunately the private setting on youtube is limited to viewing by 25 of your youtube friends. they oughtta adjust that.
That's mighty fine slide playing. I'm very fussy about slide players - some people have it and to my ears most don't, but you've definitely got the feel . Very enjoyable. More please - preferably with a smaller hat next time...

Since you quite obviously have a lot of talent on visual things as well, maybe working with video will grow on you? Let's hope so anyway. Greetings to Fuzzball as well.

Very good indeed Mr O'M- sounds uniquely yours, but still has all the swing of the Reverend. (reverend bit obviously about the first song in the thread- not the video !)

Why do you think I kept playing tenor ukulele this year? As one who is musically somewhat inept, I'm more than happy to listen to you, Slim and all the other star players who turn up.

That's an excellent look you got there, M. OMuck. Great touch with the slide and a right hand thumb like Popeye. I like the Beethoven extendo ending too. M. Fuzzball sounded like he joined in for a moment in the middle there.
Thanks one and all. The camera is a tiny JVC Evero hard disk jobby. I downloaded that to my son's newer better i-mac into i-movie via USB cable and then straight to youtube. The guitar is a 1946 Gibson LG-2 or 3. There are pictures of it somewhere on the forum. It has three extra sound holes courtesy of a past conversion to electric guitar-icity. It lived and probably froze in a barn in Maine for years. The freezing and extra sound holes account for its swell tone I think. Fuzzball is a 15 pound polydactyl Maine coon cat with 7 toes on his front right paw and 6 on his left. He is an attack cat and bare legged excursions to the kitchen are punishable by scratching post leg treatments, complete with blood loss and hurled expletives. The hat is from Lapland, the sun glasses from Rite-Aid, the plastic horns and chain from Halloween Adventure, the rain slicker from LL Bean and the scarf from my wife's closet. I'd like to thank the academy.......
