A friend of mine who knows I like to dabble in making my own guitars has brought my attention to a Dutch feller called Yuri Landman. He's an experimental performer and instrument maker, and he's holding a workshop only 15 miles from me in Bradford. During the workshop he will demonstrate making an instrument he calls a Triochord which everyone will make and get to take home.…

To all the good folks of the Nation,
Through a message from Uncle John, where he brought my attention to the marvelous Justin Townes Earle, I was moved to bore him about my love of Bloodshot Records. Whilst reminiscing and re-listening to some of the artists and music they've released over the last 15 or so years, I thought some of you guys on the Nation, if you were unfamiliar with the label, might find some interest in their stable of artists. So, if Uncle John doesn't mind, I…

Kind regards

Thanks for the comments on "Shelter" Vinyl. Girl From the North Country sounds great as well. We're all getting good at this tribute thing!
Welll damn, aint I jus none too bright,,,haha,ok then ,redirecting praise to turlehead....carry on
To echo the sentiments of all , yer tune was a superb way to lead us off, just heard it again today , just wanted to say how much I dig it,Top Notch Pickin,Salud,play on
Heard your version of the Bob Dylan's "Shelter From the Storm" and was blown away, this is the sleeper song on the album we all did together in colab, for someone who lived those days, during the seventies, and listened to that song over and over, I was brought back through the decades by your version of one of his best songs. Job well done, Downtown Vinnie sends his regards, a room away from SmartyPants, when he was playing your song i thought it was Bob Dylan himself somehow transported into Vinnies studio.
thank you
I have hit the wrong button on friend reguest so many times. Take care still don't know why you ain't on the Beatles record?
Hey I just realized you were No Show Jones for the Beatles Record, sure you had your reasons would been even better with you. I'll patronize whoever I want.
LATER OTIS!
