(FROM Charles: Notice how sly Bobbe is,don't want all of us knowing his secrets,Don't worry Bobbe,VERY,VERY,VERY,FEW of us could play it like you do anyway. ) Or want to! :lol: Hey Bobbe, I'm sure enjoying that Blue Pro-I !!! Well I ain't got anywhere but just staring at it. But it sure is pretty! T...

these are a couple of original photos of (BEFORE) I sent it to Bobbe. Ricky's fireplace ought to look familiar. The guy I bought it from in L.A. met me at Blackie's Shop in Riverside for the purchase. http://www.dennispayne.us/ori-ShoBud-Pics-1.jpg http://www.dennispayne.us/ori-ShoBud-Pics-2.jpg It ...

:D What can I say, and it hasn't been 3 years! It's been half that and well worth that wait. Now I can start fresh once again. I put my Carter Starter away months ago and have been banging on my guitar, waiting and thinking THIS IS GONNA BE GOOD. Yup, it is! Bobbe I'll give you a call Saturday. Dary...

Alex, I was a cop for 25 yrs in Calif. The eBay seller was in possession of stolen property, 496.1CA Penal Code a felony. He'd better return it to you or you can file criminal charges against him and bypass SFPD. Contact the D.A.'s office and ask to speak with a D.A. investigator. When dealing with ...

Don't ever, get in a vehicle with Smiley driving. And if he plays your PSG, be sure to check for LED lights that have fallen off of him onto the fretboard.

I thought it would be fun to give you a sneak peak of my ShoBud rebuild/refinish.... info in the video.

Herbie, You are right on with your memory about Dad and that elec. Fender Fiddle. Here's a photo of Dad with it right after Merle gave it to him. To be honest, Dad didn't much care for the way it sounded. But he sure was proud of Merle having given it to him! Here's that photo..... http://www.bootso...

Herbie.... you mean like these dances? The guys played every night, switching back and forth between each others bands. http://www.bootsoftmusic.com/davestogner/photos8/1944ad.jpg http://www.bootsoftmusic.com/davestogner/photos8/1944ad-2.jpg Another Richmond, CA Newspaper Ad from 1944 http://www.boo...

A 1/2 ton utility truck with boxes to carry it all in? Or just don't use that broken knee lever, play with 9 strings and hum the part of the missing string?

Gary H.:

Thanks for that question, I'm sure the rest of Dad's family will be tickled to hear you asked, and of course Norm's answer. Norm and Dad go way back when he was a youngster.

Don't worry Norm I ain't telling how old you are!

Michael, I've been to your fair city, when the Cowboy Saloon was alive and kickin'. Hung out with Dennis, Jim and yes Smiley. Poor guy can't help it ya know?

Hope to be back your way again before long...time for another CW Music fix.

I'm so new at playing (or trying to), that I just put a piece of duct tape on the front apron with the name "SMILEY" in black felt pen.

No use ruining my career!

I don't break strings, but I do kick over my amp when I'm finished playing.

I don't know guys? But why don't y'all just play the song. I can see...1-2-3-4-1 everyone's comes in on the last one. But all this counting stuff gives me a headache. We always just play the danged thing. Always works somehow.

I could give you Smiley's name, but I don't think I can put S#&t for brains on the forum!

Thanks Ray, now I have a reason to open that new bottle of Crown Royal before the holidays.

Jim: I wonder what the "crock" thinkers' opinions are of Buck as a "country-rock" artist? There are quite a few that consider him the granfather of the whole thing. Long before Buck came on the scene, there were guys like Bill Woods in Bakersfield. Bill could and did play all ki...

"Pedajo", whew! at first I thought you were talking about a Prostituita (spanish) on a bicycle!

I checked the Enhancer website, but couldn't find a price listed. Did check the dealers too, but none are even close to my area.

Anyone have a clue how much these thing run?

I was fortunate back in the 60's to work with Norm before he joined the Strangers. I don't know what Norm can't play? The guy is just a major talented musician and a class individual! He should be in the Hall of Fame. <font size="1" color="#8e236b"><p align="center">[Th...
