I hope you can stand yet another compliment Rod, but that was a very cool performance by Sam Lemann, and your guitar played its part superbly. I hadn't heard Sam play before, and I am grateful to you for introducing him to me. His recordings with Hetty Kate are really worth listening to.

Thanks Mike, there's a bit of a story to how Sam ended up with my instrument in his hands.
My nephew filmed a promo music vid for Hetty Kate and took one of my instruments along for a test run, aparently Sam liked what he was playing too, i haven't been rushed with orders yet though.
Cheers,, Rod.
