Welcome to Squarenecked.com. I finally got some cycles to put some new things up. Ok, not much, but at least we're still listed on www.patheticwebsites.com.

Click here to see what a power planer will do to your finger...

I got the call from George Freyne (sp?) AKA Commander Cody to come do some shows with him. It was pretty cool to get to play with one of your childhood idols... He was really nice and easy to work with. These were steel guitar shows, of course...

Speaking of pathetic, here's what raw cedar will do to your hands when working with lawn machinery...

This tune is tabbed out in the tablature archive. Click "dobro stuff", then "Tablature Archive" then "Rototiller". But why?

New DeNeve dobro

Here's a couple of photos of my new walnut DeNeve dobro. Made by Dick Deneve in Pennelleville New York. It's a really close copy of my 1977 RQ Jones guitar. Sounds pretty much just like it.

3-1/8 inch body depth. Ozark Black Walnut. Aura pickup system installed...Shown here side by side with the Jones...click for high res (olution).

Argentine Patagonia. The resonant qualities of the rarefied air in this giant amphitheater are exquisite. Its a long flight but well worth it.

Here's some dobro stuff...

A bevy of Squarenaked ladies....

It's Waaaa-aaaaay Cool, and really OFFICIAL!!!

Here's some family stuff:

These are my boys playing their banjos. The one on the left showing all the signs of being a real banjo player (dirty face, mouth breather, peed-in pants., etc.). The one on the right is, well, a little scary. Don't go calling the DSHS Child Protective people on me...These boys asked for these banjos. I don't encourage it, but I allow it.

Here's some TRUE stuff:

Here is a personal message from my good buddy Tenzing just for you....

Welcome Weedhopper, to Squareneck.com. What is in a name you ask? We call dobros what they are here. dobro's. For a person to take such a name as their own, and then to stop the others from using it, is as wrong as right as it is to one that is wrong from being in the taker of their taken-ness, so as to speak. Why use a paper towel when a kleenex will do? It is the same as it would be if the Three Stooges were staid businessmen, or Jesus a mere camel salesman. What is the sound of one hand sliding? Do you know? Can you play Nam-Myoho-Orenge-Kyo? Am I a red hat or a yellow hat? Well how about boycotting WalMart and freeing Tibet? I bet you would if the Potala were sitting on a big puddle of light, sweet, yellow crude. Now go, Weedhopper, and follow the path of least resistance by playing your stringed instrument flat upon your lap. Look below to know the secret of filling your belly with the sweetly flavored, charred flesh.

Mmmmm...pork!.

Brad Higgins made this pedal dobro. Pretty cool. Bradivarius or something. He's pretty amazing. You should see his Schiffelgruber.

Resophonics Anonymous:The Relapse is HERE!

"The Relapse"

The followup to the acclaimed Resophonics Anonymous. This is the part of the website where we try to sell you some CD's. Actually, they are pretty darn good records, at least a lot of people have told us that. Really, there's no accounting for taste. And he who spends too much time thinking about what the thoughts of others are is probably thinking a little too much. For instance-aren't YOU wasting quite a bit of valuable time goofing about on the internet? I know I am, just sitting and doing this silly thing.

BTW-The Relapse CD is sold out. We're seeing about getting some more of them...
