Notes
Wow….700 episodes of the Homeskoolin’ progrum my dear friends (and that’s not even counting the other 900 videos that were considered "bonus videos" because they weren't good enough to be an actual "volume")

can you even believe we have come this far?

i will say it’s good to be back on the air after a brief hacking hiatus my dear Homeskoolers

This episode goes out to our friend Hot Carl

…and here's a fun trivia fact for all you TRUE Homeskoolers (i'm referring to the ones that Hot Carl thinks are REALLY creepy)

let it henceforth be noted in the annals of the Homeskoolin' archives that there will always be a void where an episode 699 WOULD have been.

This little detail is made even more interesting by the fact that Uncle Larry was trying to upload a DIFFERENT volume 699 at the precise moment the channel got hacked, but of course that particular video was aborted and never seen, so there were actually TWO failed attempts at a volume 699

Notes
Fresh off the round two relapse of his mystery stomach illness , Uncle Larry is absolutely THRILLED beyond words just to feel good enough to get into some heavy guitar repair at the old work bench.

I really don’t think it was that new parasite that’s going around that got me friends , because I researched that and i did NOT experience the “hallmark symptom” of that illness at all.

But Lord Knows…I’m just glad to be up and around , although still a bit weak and sore.

I’ll be back to my old jaded pissed off self in no time my dear Homeskoolers, just in time for a little trip to Abbey Road.

Thanks so much for the kind comments in the recent videos, it really cheered me up when i was able to read through those …you guys really are sweethearts.

Totally unrelated, if anyone out there on the west coast has a totally straight no monkey business 67 or 68 Marshall Plexi head, dear friend of mine, who happens to be a legendary rock star, is hunting one

It’s just gotta be right folks…no changed trannies, no extra holes, no silliness.
I don’t think he cares if it’s a 50 or 100…
Let me know what ya got people

He wants to call it the “J-Zinger” because his name is John.
He mounts a thick ass bass string along the edge of the pick that produces a really cool array of sounds depending on how you strike it or swipe it.

Just be nice and send this sweet guy 20 bucks and he will make you a cool pick and send it to ya in the mail. You can tell he puts his heart into this shit, that’s good enough for me.

It’s a good thing to do for everyone friends .

Been having a blast listening to mixes and making mix revisions of the new Buk/Jedd/Guthrie acoustic album that is about to be unleashed upon the world as soon as we get it mastered and get an album cover done .

I think you guys are gonna like this one …it’s VERY unique.
I can’t quite say I’ve ever heard another record quite like it to be honest…it has elements of sooo many different influences…bluegrass, space honky, western, Spanish, rockabilly, Disney, doom rock, and many others .

It’s a truly high fidelity sonic capture by engineer Brandon Bell…a real auditory feast for your earholes

We don’t have a name for it yet…do you?

Also, check out the new CLIFFS releases on all the streaming platforms ...i’m very proud of those boys
