Chapters
00:00 - Carrots, onion, chicken / Uncle Larry's Garage - Silvertone


Notes
Larry puts together a beautiful Sunday afternoon chicken dish in the slow cooker for his Homeskoolin' friends.

Thanks for watching, especially on a day so chock full of hot NFL action.

if anyone wants that old late 50's Danelectro hit me up at tombukovac@gmail.com

1500.00 plus shipping.....DOMESTIC US SHIPPING ONLY

it's actually a pretty cool old guitar with plenty of retro vibe on tap...if i was gonna use it i would convert it to some sort of real bridge, the bridge situation on these old Danelectros is a joke.

If you guys are indeed getting anything out of these videos, whether it be musical or culinary, please feel free to throw a a little something to the tip jar....

Thanks for watching/commenting/laughing/crying/falling and stumbling along with Larry throughout these last 3 crazy years (and please note that all of these moments have been closely monitored and recorded by my team of associates that work tirelessly behind the scenes of Homeskoolin’ Incorporated, all in an effort to provide you with the best customer service possible)



PS…the handsome face at the end of this video belongs to none other than Michael Robert “Mitch” Bukovac, who sadly left this world in 1971

The Guthrie record is coming out soon folks....it really is I swear...sorry about the wait.

Homeskoolin’ Holiday Bonus “I’ve Just Seen A Face”

Chapters
00:00 - Happy Birthday wishes thanks!


Notes
Larry wanted to emote a VERY SINCERE thank you to all that have sent birthday wishes to him on this day…his 55th birthday…the memo that came in from corporate this morning said that he truly appreciates it.

He also wanted to give you a little Rorschach test and show you the annual Christmas train that is always a giant hit with the young lads….although the cars and tracks are fairly recent, the engine and transformer of the Christmas train is supposedly from 1958…and so is that sweet old 350 with the intoxicating sunburst shading...and the narrow spaced PAF's... and the old brown Lifton case that is lined with the second best pink on earth....
