A little effort to show off the Fraulini Angelina.

Great cut, Phil. I would have thought with a Fraulini you'd be playin' a Barbecue Bob cut!

Sheesh. I look at the guitars you guys have and I start sighin' at my wall. Seven guitars, two banjos, and a mandolin hangin'... and nothing that cost me more than $400, and nothin' older than 2002.

And speakin' of lonesome... listenin' to your cut and Brosna's cut... everybody in my little neck of the woods is playing electric Chicago Blues on their tele's and '66 fender amps. Only three of us around here play acoustic blues, and I'm the only one teaching and gigging. What I wouldn't give to have a bunch of you guys from Weenie playin' out around here so that more folks could hear what real blues is all about.

I do have 42 students, though, and over half of them are in Open D or G, learnin' how to slide and holler. One of these days, maybe, Humboldt will be the acoustic blues capitol of the world.
Woke up this morning... I think.

Steady on Richard, you're going a step too far again.  It's bad enough talking about banjoes, but suggesting old Blueshome looks better in the flesh.  Oh well, each to his own I guess.

But let's not let our usual silly banter detract from the old young boy's neat 12-string guitaring.

Thanks for the kind words.  BTW, there's many good tune played on an old fiddle guitar(ist).
