Hauntingly beautiful, at times mournful, caressing the soul. An example of use, although I do believe actually played on keys to simulate pipes, Zeppelin's In The Light.

Oh man, "I love you Papa!", those words. They grow up too quick. Ditto, nicely done.

Is this the first you realized you had unknowingly written a song about the "West Memphis 3" murders from the perspective of the one kid who didn't die from drowning? ^Just kidding around, sort of. I have to admit, when I listened and for some reason my mind went left field to tragedy, and...

I'm not familiar with Sufjan Stevens. John Wayne Gacy the serial killer? Wow. Mind blown.

Sheesh, can't get this one out of my head, nice work, CrowsofFritz. Nice work as well sorting it out, Jimmy. It's a bit haunting, melancholy & sad, disturbing even. May I ask the motivation for the lyric content? In a way I hate to go there for the risk of tainting your song: I could see this...

Really nice.

I remember the wonderment of seeing it live years ago, lefty playing upside down. Impressive at the time, but is it? I mean, it's not as if one of us righties flipped it over lefty and learned all over again, which would be impressive, I reckon. It's just the way they learned to play, lefty, and...

He puts the lotion on his hands. Bag Balm: Bag meaning cow udder. Cows aren't particularly fond of dry scratchy palms & fingers(and neither are guitar strings when you are trying to record?). Balm meaning stuff that will help make your palms & fingers less dry & scratchy. I've never tried...

Avoiding "you" and "I" can at times provide greater freedom to express what you want to say. For example, attributing your own thoughts, feelings, frustrations & anger, or perhaps even self criticisms to a fictional or representative character "him" or "he" can free you to say what needs to be...

He thought you were pulling his leg? Apologies, I couldn't resist.. Carry on. :-)

Sprinkle everything with baby powder, lots and lots of baby powder. :D :eek:

What finish/color did you go with for the lad?

dude never came back?

Sold! Do you include shipping? Joke. These are the jokes, folks. Yeah, keep the Silvertone and enjoy it, friend. Me? Let's face it, i'll never make it to The Opry.

No sweat brother, just trying to help the op and didn't want you guys to think I was intentionally trying to be an ass. It's a cool little axe, wouldn't mind having one myself, even if I got limited use of it. Who knows, might play it more than expected. Maybe find my inner David Lindley...

Correction. It may be a Harmony p-up rather than Gibson. Noted, fellas. My poor attempt at some sort of humor. Not feeling too hot, so I apologize if it came off as snarky. I wonder if the op has been back?

Apparently they made a lap steel in the 50s. Have you plugged it in? How does it sound? Does it buzz, rattle? Centering the p-up so it doesn't touch the plate might help. It appears as if it used to have body binding, but now removed? Tuners okay? Original nut? Case? You gonna sell it?

1950s Silvertone 1316. Gibson P13 p-up. 1950s Silvertone 1316 - Lapsteel-Vi50SilvertoneLap

Well that's curious, because it doesn't seem to mesh with this...

Yeah, since this thread got so slow I clicked my bookmark to go back there and immediately got a warning page if I wanted to continue to the site. I can't remember if I clicked further or not. Didn't know if it was for some reason just me, or bogus. It's kind of weird they just shut down right...
