http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-merseyside-17686424 Hope BBC link above works outside the UK. Inspiring. Tom Doughty is now hoping to inspire others to learn to play, as he tours 12 specialist spinal centres in Britain, starting in Southport where he was first treated http://www.tomdoughty.com/...

Got this from an earlier message, just used it to send a donation, worked OK.

Jeff,

Would we like a Webcast? Yes please from UK.

Dramatically beautiful subject and photographs, look forward to viewing the completed instrument.

Great to read these, so much in there. Notice a picture of Basil Henriques from Castaways days, enjoyed listening to the Band's music from those days only recently.

Many Thanks for posting.

Look forward to seeing The Shackdusters during 2012,
love the sound, and the new album.

Attach the two old videos for reference, they have been seen here in the past.

Used to fill case with crumpled newsprint, changed twice weekly.

Had the newsprint anyway so cost nothing, certainly made a significant difference after 2 weeks, followed by the open air airing,

Seemed to work, hasn't been a problem since. Like the Febreeze idea, will try that next time.

Tone bars, picks caddy, fits on your belt, and is secure, check out the acoustic steels too. In the UK but a lightweight item so far as postage in concerned?

Link to photo album of Wyzecki S8 and D8 steel guitars built in UK circa 1960. Go top left to select slideshow, then full screen. Pictures are a mixed bag, need daylight to show them better.

At last a thread on these little-known Wyzecki guitars! Have an S8 and a D8 pictures to follow by the weekend, both picked up via Ebay UK over the years, one directly and another indirectly. The S8 has a single one-off style pickup wrapped in a blue tape IIRC, the D8 has more conventional looking si...

Mick Jagger in rehearsal playing his 1457.

I'm still looking for one of these but not just now.

Thanks Kevin! Really enjoyed this and the other Shackduster numbers posted earlier, look forward to buying or downloading the album - do let us know when and how.

Will there be a UK tour?

The warmth of Goa sounds attractive after the early winter in the UK - enjoy!

To just find the time, no, make the time and get on with it. Learn - practise - revise - progress. Repeat.

False alarm, vendor got measurements wrong, it's a 24 and 22. Talking about the 24.

Thanks for response Mike, reading your blog.

Hi, I can't find any reference to 26 inch scale Magnatone, a 6 string lap steel. Have been offered one blind, no pictures, no model number to research on internet. If I go ahead it will be viewed before purchase, can anyone throw light on when such guitars were made, model numbers, do you have exper...

They all play, ref to an earlier post where the poster had had problems with discs receive...

I purchased one of these 6 string squareneck guitars, through an Ebay seller based in Belgium, bought and delivered cheaply, and no import taxes to pay. If I remember correctly it was less than £150 all in. Learning to play it in open G is a project for this winter, an entry level guitar at a low pr...
