Non Ric acoustics

[jimk]

OK, here we go top to bottom:
Wildwood open back banjo. I've been playing this instrument since new back in the early '80s.

SL Mossman Tennessee Flattop. This is my main acoustic axe. Built in Winfield, KS and the serial number dates it to 1976.

Fiddle. Bought 28 years ago from Elderly Instruments, this has been my main fiddle ever since. I still use it on stage with Getty Township

Dobro. The real deal built by the Dopyera brothers back in the 1930s. I inherited it from my grandfather who bought it new. And oh how us grandkids banged around on it!

Alex Bevan plays, or at least, played a SL Mossman for a long time.

This is my other acoustic. Tuned like a tenor guitar, it's a lot of fun. Beautifully crafted and ornamented, too.

Jim, wow, lovely spread.

Jim, wow, lovely spread.

Thanks. I use the Dobro on those rare occasions when I play bottle neck. Excuse the rough performance, the song was brand new when this video was made, and therefore not at all well rehearsed.

Recorded at the Kansas City Songwriters' Circle.

I go with the Gibson SJ200. It's big blond and beautiful

Couldn't afford nor justify a Martin D-28 so I got a Takamine G530SS. Does all I need and stays in tune.

You know how to play one of those things? I don't recall that!

I am a hack but S L O W L Y improving. Mostly I work out nice sounding chord progressions and never get words for them. I need to read the book my daughter got for me.

[jps]

Book? You're supposed to read a book before starting out on guitar? Oh oh!

Here's my current go-to acoustic, a 1967 Gretsch Rancher:

Here's my current go-to acoustic, a 1967 Gretsch Rancher:

Cool guitar. It might be some residual substance from the 60's in my system, but I swear that guitar looks like it's singing......
