Just a taste until I get some better pictures--you can see me playing the AMAZING MUDCAT GUITAR earlier today, over at my picture page at bbc's Mudcat Resources. Note the "don't mess wit me" look that the Guitar inspires! Now wouldn't you ALL like one now?

Only one string actually plays--this was a project in aesthetics--the guitar's too delicate for exact tuning.

Well Praise, Meebo says its on display at his school's "Gallery without Walls." I have no idea what the hell that is, but I figure its over by the Natatorium without a Pool and in front of the Outhouse without a Hole. I think its a parking lot.......Yeah, look there...There's a Kenworth parked on top of Meebo's thingy.......

Praise, I took the photo--with my shoe! It's on display, but haven't heard anything about it--I'm not sure what grade I even got on it. I'm not sure I really want to play it--everything that has transpired in the last month is in the guitar. It's like a vessel of experiences. Once I finished it and got rid of it, I felt much better. Kinda like the old home remedy for getting rid of freckles (BTW it didn't steal MY freckles, and I got a lot of 'em). And sorry Amos, the hair is already cut as of 2 hours ago. Too hot for long hair!

Looks like the geginning of a good harp-guitar. I'd suggest sypmpathetic strings, double main strings, and a neck made of jade.

Mbo - is the eerie blue glow an effect of the guitar or the lighting, or have you been drinking radiator fluid?

guitar looks great BTW....

The lighting is actually from the LCD projector hooked up to the monitor on the teacher's station in the lab.

Well geezis MbO -- guess you answered that question! No whining if you end up entertaining yourself all weekend long! That's a beautiful instrument, though...maybe you could just carry it around down at the Student Coop and drag 'em in with it...

Wow! I'm getting a whole new Mudcat Blake Madison-style epic in my head. The Adventures of a Crimefighting Folk Super-Hero and his African-American Teenaged Sidekick - Banjman and Rappin!

Millionaire Manure Magnate Bruce Blevins sips fine wine in his palatial estate outside Capo City, shooting a liesurely game of billiards with inner-city teen Sharmane Wilson, when suddenly the Mudcat Signal illuminates the sky. " Quick, Sharmane! To the Mudcave! It looks as though my old adversary The Possum is up to his old tricks again!"

Look out Banjman, don't fall for that old diversion. While you and Rappin are busy chasing after the elusive POSSUM Luke Ukelele and his sidekick, Accordian Pleats are busily ravaging the Gotham Folk Fest and Craft and Cookie Fair, eating everything in sight!
