"Shuffle
Rag" by Big Bill Broonzy (arr. N. Conato). I just got this guitar, and
named it "Baby". You may wonder why I purchased this guitar, when I
already have a wonderful National 12-string steel-bodied "Delphi" guitar
("Cecilia") seen in my other YouTube videos.
I bought it because
it is not only a fine little instrument, but more importantly, it is
"cute". When I go to the park and play my National, for sure I draw a
crowd - that guitar has a strong stentorian voice - dynamic, and moving.
But I've noticed that even though ladies seem fascinated, they are also
intimidated by a big man playing such a large, powerful instrument.
But when I play this tiny little parlor-sized guitar, I come off instead as "cute" or "sweet".
So
as a "Babe Magnet", I would rank playing this little guitar somewhat
above walking a cute puppy dog, but, in all honesty, still below having a
stable with two or three saddle horses. But puppy dogs eventually
mature, and are no longer cute once they get prominent genitals; and the
upkeep of horses is troublesome and expensive. So that's why I bought
this parlor sized Republic "Resolian". (Besides, it has a "flat"
fingerboard, not a "radius": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fretboar.... I like that for bottleneck playing).
DISCLAIMER:
THE ARTIST CREATING THIS YOUTUBE SUBMISSION HAS DONE SO WITHOUT ANY
REMUNERATION FROM REPUBLIC GUITARS, AND THAT THIS SUBMISSION IS NOT A
PAID ENDORSEMENT BY SAID VENDOR.
Having said that, I do want to thank Frank Helsley, of Republic Guitars, http://www.republicguitars.com,
for his tireless assistance in the purchase, setup and delivery of this
fine instrument, and for the first-class airline ticket from here to
Biloxi, Mississippi, and for the four day, three night stay at the Beau
Rivage resort and casino, and for the $500.00 in complimentary casino
chips. I also enjoyed the drive back to Tennessee in the 2005 Lincoln
Aviator, and a special thanks for introducing me to "Gabriella" from the
escort service; I found her to be, not only a beautiful woman, but a
personable companion, and lots of fun.
The rapidly moving fuzzy
orangish blob you may notice towards the end of this video is not a
ghostly orb, but a tiny spider that lives in my camera.
Note: I wear the ski mask because I'm otherwise famous, and don't want this to "get out".
