Here is a seasonal song to demonstrate my take on the Mosrite design of guitar.

Nice!

I only saw once a guitar like this, no idea about the brand, though it was probably 70's and blue color...
Back then we had a lot of fun with it in Amsterdam!

As an experiment I just attached two strap holders on a lap steel of mine for a customer to play standing Dobro style.

Fern,
The Mosrite was still being made up to that time and into the 80s I think, Here is an original.

James.
PS, I had a look at your guitars and liked them very much, they look very well made.

James,

Just had the time to listen to your recordings, you have a nice sound, what amp do you use?

Thanks for the Mosrite picture, it looks very familiar. Anyway we had it in the late 90's in a shop I used to work at that time... The owner used to go (he still does!) to the USA to buy vintage stuff for his shop. So we bought also a lot of Oahu and Fender laps at that time. I went 4 times with him, but only the small show at Orlando.

Thanks!

Fern,
I use a Vox Valvetronix 15 amp and record with a Zoom H2, here is the full setup, big enough for me, I only play at home to amuse myself now.

Thanks for sharing a most beloved Christmas carole,
Silent Night.

It was enjoyable listening.

Merry Christmas,

Very nice tone, James. You've really captured the spirit of Christmas with that song!

James,

The Vox makes sense!
Thanks for sharing!
