    Hey man, its because of this video that i made my own ugly and basic but functional diddley bow. And i'm very grateful. Thanks a lot man. Love the blues and very inspired for your great music!!!!

    I was many years past bored of the blues until I discovered you on RUclips.You are an inspiration. It doesn't take a fortune teller to predict that one day you will take your place among the greats because you are already there. Love the way you play.

      How can you get bored of the blues? There's so many years worth of blues to listen to. You can't possibly have heard enough to get bored. You must have been listening to shit music.
