Homeskoolin’ Bonus Jam, “A Century Of Progress”

00:00 - Playing on something special
Notes
If ever there was a true life example of the old saying “man, this old guitar has some songs in it” this is it my friends
I fell head over heels for this old chopped up mid 30’s Gibson C-1 Century Of Progress model right before I left town at a music store
It was too much money, so I made an offer while I was out on the road and they accepted…
my buddy picked it up for me so it was here at my house when I get home from this weekend of road gigs at 5am Sunday morning
In the first 10 minutes this little ditty appeared
Wow, what an inspiring little guitar
