      When you're in a hurry it's easy to trip your self up and quite often the hurry. Ends up being a hindrance
      And what is the worst part is the lack of appreciation to savor the experience

      I must say I enjoy playing my Mahogany Weissenborn more than my Republic Parlor resonator ! Honestly, I find it is easier to play with a slide, than my resonator. I believe it’s caused by the curve of the nut!

      "When the Levee Breaks" is a country blues song written and first recorded by Kansas Joe McCoy and Memphis Minnie in 1929. The lyrics reflect experiences during the upheaval caused by the Great Mississippi Flood of 1927. "
      "When the Levee Breaks" was re-worked by English rock group Led Zeppelin as the last song on their untitled fourth album. Singer Robert Plant used many of the original lyrics and the songwriting is credited to Memphis Minnie and the individual members of Led Zeppelin.[1] Many other artists have performed and recorded versions of the song."

    Never really liked blues music, but somehow your videos just feel right. After playing drums for 7 years and bass for another 2, you've been one hell of an inspiration for me to grab a resonator (probably odd to say on a Weissenborn video), a slide, and see what I can do. A different beast to tackle entirely, but been fun so far! Really want to try learning Son of a Witch some day. Great playing as always, Justin!

    Hi y'all a beautiful slice 'o Americana. I can see the hazy sunset in Monument Valley Park. Heat shimmering off the melting roads. Giant birds of prey riding the air streams above. The skin on my neck red, hot n gritty in the giant convertible Detroit land yaght. A tumble weed rolls by, the sky is a John Ford masterpiece. Ciao y'all P In NOLA.

    This sounds like such a great soundtrack for my memories of my misadventures in Mississippi back in the early 90's. I really liked it down there. But when I die I'll be leaving this world from Kentucky. But i"ll always love Mississippi. I met some great people down there. Y'all know who you are..
