Started mechanical design business 9 yrs ago in Northern IL. Mother sent "slack key Masters" CD for X-mass two years ago and I loved it-- Then realized I hadn't played music (guitar) for over 10 years.

Bob, What a beautiful job. How many of us old rockers and folkies have caught the slack fever from Queen Lili. God bless her. My storie is much like yours. Keola, Ray, Sonny and all the great young slack players have re-inspired me to start playing again. Like coming home. Your axe sounds great and your picking smooth. Aloha and Maholo from Olympia WA.
