At 5:26am on September 29, 2010, Dianne Woods said…: Thanks for the infor. Ok, I just might stop in and check out the store when I am up that way. Never heard of Watkinsville Ga, until you mentioned it. I had to look it up on the map.

At 8:24am on September 26, 2010, Bluesheart said…: Well, with wire I just wrap it back around itself , like picture wire. With the fishing line, I just do a series of half hitches and pull it tight into one big knot, then slip the other end thru a small hole, like on Zen-O Phone.

At 8:38am on September 22, 2010, Keni Lee Burgess said…: LOL I did not notice that until you mentioned it, beStillroy. Maybe it fell out of Colonel Sanders bucket! Enjoy.

At 2:15pm on September 21, 2010, Dianne Woods said…: Hey, Thank you for the tip. Very good idea to make one from a brass door plate. Thank you very much.

At 12:51pm on September 19, 2010, ProfWaldo said…: Hey, some very impressive woodworking and blacksmithing skills shown in your pics Roy.The iron work is incredibly artistic and well done, wow ! Ah yes, isn't the life of a tinker grand !?! Thanks for the nice comment on the song I did with Laurie. I hope to do one myself in the not too distant future but the singin' ain't gonna be anywhere near as purty, might even be painful. Well, I guess that's why god made volume controls. I gotta' go check out more of your stuff here. Later...

At 3:23pm on September 15, 2010, bairfoot cajun said…: thanks bestillroy,i should have that zino tri-can resonator playing in the next few days,i will do a sound check video for sure also so ya can hear it.

At 9:08am on September 11, 2010, bairfoot cajun said…: yep on the nylon washers bro,that is a good idea to eliminate unnecessary and unwanted white iron noise.

At 12:03am on September 11, 2010, Joker said…: meant to say "relocated to a website that Shane owns"

At 12:02am on September 11, 2010, Joker said…: Hey man. The podcast is in limbo land right now. It was shut down by mypodcast.com (the hosting site) because they said I didn't have enough traffic on it. So starting in October it wil be relocated that Shane owns. Probably at cigarboxguitar.com, but I don't know for sure yet. I am sure I can get a front page announcment on the nation when it's ready.

At 12:07pm on September 9, 2010, bairfoot cajun said…: its has been a while since i made one of those jean gig bags and i know i still have the stuff to make 5 or 6 of them and i still have my industrial sewing machine,but the machine is in my brothers upholstery shop and its kinda small and he is doing a custom truck seat right now and my sewing machine is covered up so doing it is not a problem.finding the time and staying out of the way is the problem. so i guess i shoulda said yep i can do it i just don't know when i can do it.

At 10:37am on September 9, 2010, Laurie Lee Campbell said…: Hi bestillRoy, and thanks--I recorded the cd out5 of pocket in a local studio, and they produce the CD's for me when I need them...the cost to order a bit high for me as the artist, but the beauty is that I can order 10 copy a time if I like.I did it mostly to say I "did it".i can order some and let you know when they arrive..it usually takes about a half a week..I've been selling at 10 a pop, would ship for free if you want more than one copy--I think ship cost is 2 bucks, first class, three can be sent priority in one box...I'm only lacking time to get back to this engineer,,,a really super guy, (look up Laughing Dogs Jimmi Accardi ),,he was so taken with the CBG that he wants to make an EP or CD and front the cost--and add the rhythm --stomp, light snare...etc, sort of a shared fun project. Hard to leave home....got a pa, almost 89! two kids in highschool=busy days!, and don't forget the mowing!LOL............uploading a vid shortly--look for it, contains a hint for a download....I'll let you know when I've got some in hand--cash, postal money order by mail, and paypal by lightning speed works for me...

Did you mean the song Little Red Canoe or Vid? I have a Mp4 version, but cannot upload it here and am not sure myself how to convert the file to mp3....I added two songs off my CD here--the only two Cig Box offerings off the cd, after finding mp4 not possible to add..recorded off my computer speakers, using the edirol...recording at mp3 level. The cd is fun, but I'm out of copies at the moment....lately gas in the tank is better than cd's in the closet that might not sell.....LOL,....i'll try to make a copy off the cd and upload here to my music player and allow sharing, they can be used and added that way.....thanks for asking, too:-) I've given away as many copies as I've sold, I think!!hehehe
