Tall Grass Blues (played on a Daddy Mojo Cigar Box Guitar)

Thankyou KeniLeeBurgess for your nice encouragement. love your how to vids! I even tuned down to your g for fun lst nite! --I swapped this vid out as the credits at end were missing. This is "almost" an improvisation-right off the cuff. I conjured it up stompin' round in the grass, sang it thru a couple times, in the heat of the day after actually mowing the yard.. . Then took a whack at modifying the strings of my 3 string Daddy Mojo #81 via the use of a small plastic handled screwdiver as a riser nut, so I could play it lap slide. playin' a spell is a very nice way to cool down! been at that mowin' chore more than half my life now! This was just for the fun and folly of the moment, and yes, mowing some days, gives me the blues-EACH and everytime I mow however,--my mind is alive with lyrical lines, which is a side benefit. takin to carryin' a pencil and scrap of paper in my overalls!! :-)

This is great !

Funny too !

After nearly killing myself trying to write down words while making the hour-long drive to work, I invested in a little digital pocket recorder.

Sony saved my life by golly.

Maybe I could do a testimonial commercial for Sony Corp.

I love your stuff Laurie ! LOVE IT ! :-)  -wally
