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....

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.
