That's right - I love what the rattlesnake rattle was doing... I am gonna have to try that out... Kinda a built in tambourine shake... That was neat! And did you see how high the nut was set on that shovel? No fretting there! All strings! WOO!

I'm listening to a piece now, slide guitar, that has cicadas in the background, and I am telling you, that is making me desperately homesick for my misspent youth in southwest Virginia.
