Thank you so much for adding me as a friend. I just ordered an all Blackwood Weissenborn from Richard Wilson guitars in Australia, it will arrive in a few months ( I live in Canada).
I can't fine anyone to teach me lap steel guitar where I live. Do you know of any resources or have any suggestions for me ? I live in St. Catharines an hour away from Toronto.
Happy Holidays !
May this Christmas end the present year on a cheerful note
