I had an AJ with walnut that is to date the loudest I’ve played.

I’m a little biased toward the original recording which is one of my all time favorites but you did a good job with it. I’m not sure about it being a ragtime tune. Cindy Walker wrote so many hits. She left her songs to the Country Music HOF and the royalties still bring in over a couple million dollars a year. She had a secret crush on Bob Wills for whom she wrote many hits and this song was of that hidden love

I'd like to compare some reissues to the real thing. I have a J45 Banner and a Legend. To my ears the Legend wins but my Banner sample has been through a lot. I have a '42 LG1 and it's reissue. Original wins by a mile. Some Reissues I would like to compare to the originals '34 Jumbo '32 L00 Martin HD28 BRW J45 Legend Century of Progress SJ Rosewood Stage Deluxe (to a Radio Grande) L5

He has one Martin he got from Johnny Cash who got it from Hank Jr who inherited from his dad. His other Martin is his signature model which is based on the Hank. His mandolin is a Gibson. His tele is the original bender belonging to Clarence White. Of course he has a warehouse full of famous instruments all having a story attached to them. Plus he has access to all the instruments in the CM HOF

I saw him about 1-1/2 years ago. I’m a big fan of his. After the concert, my wife was too. I debated to get him to sign my HD40MS but decided not to. It’s modeled after the Hank Williams Martin he plays on stage with a little more deco. The whole gang (Connie and her band was also there) had tables setup afterwards to meet everyone.

Nice job! Maybe the new forum update will have it's own cloud.

Where at?

KY? Where at? I’m in Erlanger.

Looks great! I did the same to my Kristofferson SJ.

Nice job as usual! Glad to hear from you.

Congratulations!

Woodstock? I didn't know he played!

As stated, a teacher that will be honest with you is invaluable. I remember my first golf instructor. He asked me if I had considered taking up a different sport:) Apparently I have a good ear for music as long as my mouth is not open. I remember recording myself back in the ‘60’s. After listening to it, I swore to myself that I would never sing in public. I concentrated on the guitar after that but those skills are about in line with my golfing ability.

Nice playing. I would rather see a hack playing it so I can get an idea on how it would sound in my hands.

Sound is closer to mahogany. Yes, a Wheaten Terrier.

I really like the 000 and 0000 body size. A few years ago I bought a used 000-28EC with a K&K in it. I liked it a lot but I did not like the wear and tear on it. I don't mind wear and tear on a vintage guitars but not on newer guitars, that's just me Since then I picked up a 000-28EC SB and a 0000-28 Koa

Looks like it was engraved into the wood then some paint dropped in. It does look to be done a long time ago.

I was thinking the logo was engraved

Use this experience for inspiration. Throw in pieces similar to your favorite numbers like Fogerty did in his comeback album after he gave up his rights to his earlier hits. Songs like Zans Kant Danz. Here’s your first song title ‘Tube Won’t Do’

I put some Taylor ebony pins on this LG1. I think they're size 1 but I'm not sure

Zero fret is my favorite. Then the nut is nuttin’ more than a spacer.

I can do anything 🤫

Growing up in the early '60's my best friend (still to this day) was the lead singer and rhythm guitar in our band that never actually played out anywhere. In the '70's I was playing in the bars with his older brother. FFW to the 90's, my best friend decides he wants to start playing out and has me working with him. The main thing I had to do was to calm his nerves and slow him down. He was trying to race through the songs. At the time I was in a very good church band and had no desire to play in bars but I did play a few times with him in coffee shops. He thanks me to this day for slowing him down.

Nice looking guitar. I've always been impressed with Taylor guitars and the business itself, especially Bob Taylor. Unfortunately I never seem to bond with them and they eventually get sold off. I've owned a few. I just sold my 814 a few weeks ago so I am currently Taylor free. I compared the 814 to the Martin OMCPA1 Plus and decided to keep the Martin.

First off let me start by stating I love my Martins just as much as my Gibson’s so no bashing going on from me. This does seem to be a trolling excercise. For a first timer he seems to know what buttons to push. Probably a previously excumminicated member trying to stir the pot. Using his reasoning, a new BRW 1942 D45 listed at $250. That would be $3877 in today’s dollars. I’ll take a dozen of them.
