I like how he can play a bass part on the bottom string when he wants. That's a lot to manage with both feet going too. Thanks for filming and posting.

@donosborn Thanks, Don. It's amazing the sound he gets out of that thing. My onboard mic didn't do it justice. He played for around four hours throughout the day. When he plays the drums, his heels don't touch the floor. I don't know how he does it. Gotta take a lot of stamina.

This was realy good blues and it reminded me of my own endavour's in exprimental instrument building. 8 years ago I made a curbitar (curbits=german for pumpkin and tar =strings) it was an akustic lute like instrument without frets and with 3 sets of duble strings. it did not sound as good as this thoug :-) and sadly it had an aksident and is dead now :-(
