Just kidding - I know you gotta hate that.

A virtual Tip in the jar for you sir. Thanks for sharing!

Rule No. 1 - If it sounds good - it is good!

Re: SouthPaw41L's acoustic duo on YouTube

Bob and Jeff,

   Thanks for your replies. This giggin' thing is fun beyond written or verbal description. And sharing the moments with family and friends makes it even more precious. We'll try to improve on the quality of the recordings AND the material on them.....and those fancy umbrella drinks flow in great abundance in my neck of the woods...(yum yum!)

Good job Paw enjoyed seeing the video pulled my guild and did fills while I watched. Good to see Junior with his rythym box looks like he has stretched since his last photo.

Keep up the good work bud!

Re: SouthPaw41L's acoustic duo on YouTube

HI Kenny and Bootlegger,

   Thanks for the kind words. While the video is dark and grainy, my little guy was SO excited when he first watched. He saw me a screamed, "Daddy, Daddy, you're on the compooter V!( computer videos)" Then we he saw himself on the video he froze up with the 'deer in headlights' look in his eye. He was speechless and this is rare for a 3 year old... He wants to watch the vid constantly now!

      As far as my harp playin' goes, I'm usually much better ( aren't we all) but my G harp has 4 bad reeds and I did my best to play around 'em. Harps recently went up in price ( $30 retail !). I used to get 'em, after my preferred customer, buyer of bulk discount for $17. Now I gotta dish out $25 per harp. I'll be playin' the harp less until the higher paying gigs start coming in or Hohner choses to endorse a small-time local scrub musician...............

    Boot, bring that Guild over to my west coast ( Florida, gulf-side)and join me sometime, anytime.

   And as far as giggin' with the great Manny Lopez, I'll just say  that I'm one lucky dude the share the stage with such a fantastic musician and more importantly a stand-up, humble, appreciative, genuinely nice person.....

Peace and Guitars,

Hi SouthPaw,

  Just wanted to say how much I enjoyed your video, I love that song and you really played and sung so well, looked as if you were enjoying it, thats what I look for in people who play, someone who still really enjoys what they're doing, as opposed to someone who looks at it as a job, when you enjoy what your doing and others will enjoy it even more, again, a great job!

Hi Toney,

I am afraid I missed this when it was first posted (so thank you to Cam for bringing it to my notice) and I have to say it looks a great way to earn a living. Sunshine, drinks with umbrellas, family and friends around, playing guitar and singing, - make the most of it my friend, and enjoy your life. A great performance and lets see some more of them up on YouTube.

Re: SouthPaw41L's acoustic duo on YouTube

Thanks for your nice words Roger. I feel extremely lucky to be able to do this for a living. Way more positive issues than negative deterrents. If you ever make over to this side of the pond, I've got a few spare channels in my mixing board with your name on 'em.
      Semi-off topic here; It's so cool that your brother is a stuntman. I once aspired to become a stuntman before discovering the guitar. Stuntmen rule!!!!!

Have a Great Day,

Toney,

Again off topic but what the heck, you are the Moderator here and the topic is about you anyway so I will risk it.

Re: SouthPaw41L's acoustic duo on YouTube

Very nice, Southpaw.  Very, very nice.

Please talk slowly I don't hear good any more.

Re: SouthPaw41L's acoustic duo on YouTube

Thanks livebaitman. I'm glad that Marshall's working out for you. It really is a great little amp. I especially like the feedback control knob. It's sort of a turbo boost for the mids and lows. And a great anti-screeching device!!! Continued success to you in your live music adventures.

And to you Roger, your brother is one cool dude! I really enjoyed those links.
