I’m a mediocre wood worker, but have built a metal 6 string. If I can remember to take my camera home I’ll take a picture for you. Metal is FAR easier to work with than wood. But then, Kevin is a master wood worker.

This is it.  Made from a busted up guitar I rescued from a trash bin, an old stop sign that had been run over by a truck, and an old porcelain wash basin

Sounds similar to a normal guitar, but has a definite jug band twang to it.

Now all you need is a “wash tub base” John. I remember Flip Wilson always played one on his show.

I'm at the age where "fuck off", "fuck you", and "fuck it" answer most questions.

Actually I have built a few.  For a period of time the music scene in Aspen had a number of jug bands and I built several different kinds of instruments for quite a few people. Many were metal based, some metal/wood, some various kinds of wood stuff, even some glass, and , of course some utilizing old jugs. Our group was “The Tilting Rock Jug Band”

Go to Ely, NV. That’s where I’ll be.

Great place and one of my favorites. On any given night you never knew who might be invited to sit in for a song or a set. Could be a world recognized musician or a lift operator who was a serious talent  (even some of us who weren’t very good) and great fun. Could very well be we have spoken in the past.

Hey ,what a small world that would be. I also worked at the North Star Lodge doing housekeeping .The owner there ,Bruce,had a 23 window sitting out the back in the snow.I always do wonder what happened to that one.

I started work for Otto at the Inn at Aspen just after the revamp from the Holiday Inn, but didn’t enjoy the black ice on the bridge just out of town, plus he would only employ males and we wanted to work together.

Paddy’s ,with the underwater pool view in the bar and the combination of a top restaurant and a kick ass music venue was ‘the’ place to work. Casey Cummins was a fantastic boss.  I also helped Rob Cozen and Hans set up the Fins Restaurant.
