Back to real time!
Well, it's been a hectic weekend. Played at the Three Stags in Geneva on Fri nite... an office party going on at the same time, so it was a tad noisy! But, we consider that a challenge, and were able to play thru it with no problems, except for the occasional "I can't hear anything". Judy came out to see us, as did Ralph and Ann. They liked us, so we'll no doubt be back there in the future...
Then, Halloween party on Sat nite in Plainfield... our 2nd annual appearance there... no $$, just food & fun, and we had fun! Resurrected several songs that we hadn't done in a long time. Then Sunday was a day of rest after two nights out late... tomorrow will be another day.
Lost a dear friend tonight... Tim Tyner lost his battle with cancer about 9:30 p.m., passed peacefully away. We played in 2 different bluegrass/newgrass bands back in the 80's, and had a ball... He'll be missed a lot. We were able to play music with him one last time about a month ago, and it was probably the best session we'd ever had! Rest in Peace, buddy!!
So, tomorrow it's back to the world of guitar repair and building... also must record some for the eBay listings and get those up tomorrow night. Already taken the pics, but have to reduce the size and trim them yet. Then I can keep working on the ones that I've already started and start another one as well... like to keep 3 in process all the time.
Still busy working on the C6 Hawaiian tuning... Working on a couple of new songs from the 30's now as well as a couple of traditional Hawaiian songs. Slowly getting my mind around the tuning and the odd (compared to the High-G Dobro tuning) double stops that exist. And hearing when to throw in the 6ths, 9ths, & 13ths is really a trip... when you hit it right, it sounds sooo sweet! There were some pretty amazing players back in the 20's & 30's. Don't particularly care for some of their material, but love the stylings!

Slack-key guitar is a fingerstyle genre of guitar music that originated in Hawai‘i. Its name refers to its characteristic tuning: the English term is a translation of the Hawaiian kī hō‘alu, which means, sportsbook, "loosen the [tuning] key". Most slack-key tunings can be achieved by starting with a classically-tuned guitar and detuning or "slacking" one or more of the strings until the six strings form a single chord, frequently G major. http://www.enterbet.com
