Led Belly played a 12 string and wrote so many amazing songs that are still around, and influenced many great musicians. As a Busker, he wanted a loud sound that captured your attention. His musicianship was flawless and original, here’s a few, Black Betty, Midnight Special, Where Did You Sleep Last Night, Irene, Pick a Bale of Cotton, The Gallis Pole, (covered by Led Zeppelin)
Many, many musicians both covered his songs and were influenced by his unique style of writing and the 12 string sound. He often used his voice as an instrument, and vice versa.
As a musician, I found his recordings late in life and was amazed at his proficiency with the 12 string, which has been compared to an orchestra of sound. His version of House of the Rising Sun remains astounding, along with his interpretations of many folk and blues songs.
Give him a listen. A little research just might blow your mind.
Steve Vai could rock the hell out of a 7 string, but a well played 12 string is a thing to behold.

There will be 6 winners tonight of the Durban Poison F2 seeds I’m putting up…
Donated by me but truly folks, these are from Matt of Goat & Monkey. Seeds I received as gifts from my bro JT & Matt’s sister after his passing. Stock found in his home that cannot be used for his preservation seed run, not using any F2 stock… so, our benefit.
I figured why not share them with all of you…
p.s. of the 10pks I put together, 6 are going out tonight. 1 of these was packed up using a green washer, all the rest were red. The green washer wins a 2nd pack of seeds of my choice.
ain’t this fun

Yep, amazingly, Charo is a totally world class classical guitar player. Specifically, she trained in flamenco under Andrés Segovia. She kicks ass, and not just playing flamenco!

Usually because there are seeds up still @Rhai88 will let you enter and if you win another sticker might have you chouse someone to give it to. I’m not sure but @Rhai88 will let you know I would sign up personally and if concerned pm the op
my son is 31 and has disabilities in the autism spectrum and he has great difficulty in social settings. He is so gifted though and has a custom 7string that when he plays is something to behold. I’m a drummer , and it would be so awesome to start a band but we live 5hrs apart driving so it’s kinda tough. He makes me want to buy a drum kit though

Sweet axe man. I wouldn’t know what to do with those extra strings. But I have always wanted to try one out.
