Ian Stephenson recorded these samples for me a few months ago and I'm very happy with them. They were recorded using a pair of quite cheap Neumann copies, one pointing towards the soundboard, the other towards the fingerboard.

"Ticklin' The Strings" by Sweet Hollywaiians
Amazing Japanese hot string band playing 1920's, 30's, 40's style hawaiian, swing, calypso, blues, italian music and originals,featuring vintage instruments.3 songs with Robert Armstrong and Tony Marcus(from Robert Crumb and His Cheap Suit Serenaders)
"The Sweet Hollywaiians have probably the best feel for this 20's music of any string band working today. They manage the rare feat of sounding relaxed even when their playing is hot, are top notch musicians with tasteful arrangements and a full, rich, warm sound.Plus, they have a nice gamut of tunes, from King Nawahi to Giovanni Vicari to Bobby Leecan. See them live, if you can, for an unforgettable experience. If you can't, buy their Cds!" ~ Terry Zwigoff
This years festival is headlined by Billy Bragg (Friday), Seth Lakeman (Sunday) and Peatbog Faeries (Saturday) with many more top artists also performing incl the award winning The Demon Barbers.
You do a good job NK Foster, I have heard your guitars at festivals. I have made a guitar recently, but I fixed the neck to the end that resembles a womans bottom instead of the boobies and when I play it the sound seems to come out all wrong, like a kind of weird jazz. Any Ideas?
WE ARE VERY SAD... WE DON'T HAVE WORDS TO SAY ANYMORE... OUR SINGER AND DOBRO PLAYER ENRICO MICHELETTI IS DEAD. GOODBYE ENRICO KEEP THE BLUES ALIVE WHEREVER YOU ARE!!!!
Hey...thanks for the add and hope you enojyed the music. You have some beautiful sounding guitars. My Martin was damaged while on tour last month and I have been checking out different independent luthiers...great work. All the best!
