Holy haberdashery Batman!

Now your looks match your playing - lean and mean! I swear I would have taken you for a stranger and walked right past you (until I heard you that is). I hope you find the time for more solo guitar work - you always play all the sweet spots but I particularly like it when you showcase your solo talent! Btw, I posted the video you requested after we last talked - should be in your YT inbox.

[frankie12string]

@Bayrum78 - thanks, Nate! I don't even recognize myself! hey... looked in my inbox and saw nothing from you... can you re-send it?

[ddking66]

great!

[frankie12string]

@ddking66 - grazie!

[SuperKalaspuffar]

Really great playing! I play some Old ragtime-blues and many Blind Blake and Rev.Gary Davis-songs in C are hard to play but understandable. Itś harder yet to play rags in E or F, like the Rev.did sometimes.

[frankie12string]

@SuperKalaspuffar - thanks... I agree - Rev. Davis's songs in E and F are a different bag of tricks altogether...

[BarefingerBill]

This is not just good...it's astounding.

Astounding that RGD thought of it and astounding that you figured it out.

Great work.

[frankie12string]

@BarefingerBill - just a little bit a reverse-engineering for me, and still quite ways to go to really get "inside" it, but it is an amazing piece of music from rev. davis... i'm not sure i liked it at first... grew on me over time and then i couldn't stay away from it. been listening to it for years.

[clevblue]

Great drama and great guitar, thanks Frankie. Is that a Santa Cruz?

[frankie12string]

@clevblue - thanks... no santa cruz...  it's a Fraulini (Felix) fraulini.com

[clevblue]

@frankie12string Ah ! thanks, that's the Leadbelly 12 string connection, I see.

[frankie12string]

@clevblue - todd will build 'em with however many strings ya want!

[snappyturtle]

Very cool.

[frankie12string]

@snappyturtle - thanks, Frank!

[snappyturtle]

@frankie12string Thanks and thank you again. I'd love to get on a bill with you guy's sometime down the line. You're a favorite of mine.

[frankie12string]

@snappyturtle - let's figure it out!

[Rubydoobiedee]

Wonderful...as usual! ;)

[frankie12string]

@Rubydoobiedee - thanks, man!

[fngrpkn06]

Awesomely done, looked away from the vid thought RGD was singin' it.

[frankie12string]

@fngrpkn06 - thanks! now that's saying something!

[smokerlg]

This is really awesome! Sounds sooo nice

[frankie12string]

@smokerlg - thanks, george!

[pjkeane]

simply superb. really captures the ferocity (note sure if that's the right word -- passion/excitement maybe) of RGD's music.

[frankie12string]

@pjkeane - thanks! i'm not sure what the word is, either, but I feel it and try to put that across as best i can.

[donluke578]

@donluke578  - doing my best... thanks!
