Funny how some design thumbnails look good on the screen and others, like this one, kind of so-so…
Bones Instructional Video: Sample excerpt
5 March 2010, 13:22
I was trying to make sense of the Wood Rhythm Bones Home Made page, have somewhat edited it as well as finally figured out how to allow comments there too.
Then to make this post a bit more entertaining I checked to see if any new Rhythm Bone videos had been added over at YouTube and sure enough, along with some new videos presenting rhythm bones made with different materials and how they sound by “bonedrymusic” (check these out if you haven’t yet, and even so: it’s a growing collection), was this excerpt from a Bones Instructional Video by “bonesmanplunkett” which I’m happy to have bought last fall and recommend wholeheartedly.
Considering the statistics of it all…
Saturday Snow, Sunday's Stroll
8 March 2010, 22:24
Just as it looked like the Spring was getting closer wouldn’t you know that the temperature would drop again, flirt with the -6° to -12° C (21° – 10°F), encouraging all the show that fell on Saturday to stay put and freeze up the town some more instead of politely melting away like I wish it would.
Sunday woke with the sun, not of the let’s melt all that snow kind but unfortunately closer to: “the sun is shinning, don’t forget your sunglasses it’s really bright out, hey it’s freezing! Where did you put my gloves?” kind. Brrrr…Revamped Rattlebrained Designs

Where have I been all week? Wish I could say Timbuktu or the Taj Mahal! In fact just getting of this ice covered mountain would be nice. But no such luck, been lost in HTML limbo again, revamping Rattlebrained Designs.
Have to admit that I never considered where I was going when I first started building shop and am now paying the price since it’s becoming more & more difficult to organize the different designs in a way that makes sense without changing their links…Genuine Negro Jig, The Carolina Chocolate Drops

Watched this video while putting my jacket and fingerless gloves on to work at the computer in my 61°F (17°C) apartment on this new and snow covered morning…

It’s too bad that there is a bit of Germain (tv?) commentary on this document but it’s so cool to see Washboard Doc (Joseph Doctor), Flash (John Whitner), Lucky (Cab Lucky) and Louisiana Red in action that whose to complain!
The Moondog's Hum
31 March 2010, 11:22
About a year ago Dave bought a cheap Chinese resonator guitar and decided that it needed a better cone. So he ordered one but it was a bit too big for the guitar’s hole. Having taken a look at it I told him that I could make the hole bigger and so he brought it over to my workshop and we (I) ended up adding two sound holes, since he received two with the cone, remaking the bridge and sticking in a pickup between the cone and the neck.After all that the guitar sounded definitely better, which was nice, but unfortunately has an annoying hum when amplified.
