Well, this is my first post on the BHO in about 2 years, although I have been a daily lurker all that time, following all of the many threads that have perked my interest. Nobody has noticed my absence, so no harm done, and does seem to be way more peaceful. (I would insert a winky emoji here, but I have forgotten how.) Anyway, I just posted my 500th tablature on my website, which does feel like a milestone for me, in my senior years, and so I thought I would celebrate it by setting off a tiny internet firecracker. At my age, you cannot guarantee you will be here for number 600. Here is a link to my 500th, for the old tune Shortnin' Bread.

I did make a quick video to go along with it, probably also my first new video in about two years. I've been babysitting my granddaughters a lot.
I for one am glad to see you back. That is some fine picking. As my fingernails wear out I go back to three finger old time. It is not my favorite but it can deliver the melody very nicely as you demonstrate on the video above.
I really like your approach to those oldtime tunes done with three fingers. Thanks for posting the video, too.
I thought about you once in while Don--your half fretless styling and your co-hort couchie--I also think about that dish you served for supper at cliff-top--yeh the atmosphere has changed for the better --but a bit too slow
the baldwin? still has it's signature eveness and overtone spread
Don,
Welcome back. I have missed you and will give you a call before my Heart gives out--joking....Jack

Thanks, everyone, for your very nice comments. Tom, I was just talking to Don Couchie on the phone last night. We both confessed that we have gotten too old and cantankerous to make that long drive to Clifftop again. We did make the trip last summer after a long hiatus, but we've gone and become seniors since then!
