And the winner is...

Had a pretty good show last night at The Open Eye Cafe.

The debut live performance of BUSHIT was well recieved. (Although I think one college guy studying in the corner might have been put off by it - otherwise, he enjoyed the show.)

I had some equipment problems... the 7 string cigar box vihuela (CBV) was acting up. First, it's high string broke - again - during the recording of of BUSHIT. I decided not to replace it for the show since it would probably have just broken again. I guess I really need to tune this instrument to A415 instead of A440.

Second, when I really got in to playing performance quality music on this instrument I found the action is just too high - can't hit the bar chords and my left hand is awfully tired. Guess I'll be filing down the nut this weekend.

I ended up tuning the 6-string fretted CBG back to standard (I was using it for some non-slide open D tunes) to finish up the show.

Got a few new folks on the mailing list - always a good thing.

And that brings me to... the winner of the mailing list new signup drawing is....
