it was great to play music with you in the 80s in Dallas. Good times. guess you are playing for Jesus in heaven now. see you there someday soon. Billy G.
Thanks so much for sharing your memories Billy, I unfortunately never had the pleasure of meeting Tom, but heard so many amazing things from his friends. Fortunately I did have enough time with this special instrument to return it to its original strings and tuning playing music from the period, and I have made an entire series starting here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KLj8PFEjt_k.html best wishes, Matt Redman
RU-vid never ceases to amaze me. I was just flipping through the channels here in Nashville and found this guy playing this crazy thing on CATV. And sure enough it's on here!! That channel has crap usually, it is local cable access of course, but that was HIGHLY entertaining. Shinness plays all manner of odd stringed instruments, like a 12 string guitar strung and tuned to a mandocello I believe is what he said. Great stuff!
