hi, thank you. yes, it's just the boss cube street2 battery powered amp doing it all. altho, it works way better when routed thru a PA system ! i usually use a Bose L1 system. the guitar channel is decent & with a splitter cable i can add another mic ! this has the built in harmonizer which works well...most of the time. i got it for our beach tai chi parties & the other musicians also have battery powered amps. i normally use a full midi system for bigger gigs. the harmonies are on a dedicated track & are perfect each time. with double clicking the boss system there may be some errors or weird harmonies...overall, a very good rig. mp3 & wav backing tracks are played on my sam sung phone

hi...thanx for your comments. yeah, they're fun to create & a lotta work to set up ! and thanx for sharing the pix of your new digs in TX ! looks great so far & glad you're feeling comfortable about your new community...bestest wishes to you.

hey chris...thanx. I have been using the boss cube street2 battery amp for these quick little videos for my uke students. it has a vocal harmonizer which is pretty cool too ! the guitar channel has delay + reverb...I guess I could try switching them sometime. I'm working on a hawaiian album with some of my favorite tunes I learned when I moved to hawai'i in '75. the uke is my trusty kamoa tenor with built-in preamp. take care now oh, I know you're a Steve Martin fan & I worked up an arrangement, starting with Dr uke's version of...'fit as a fiddle' for my students. great video with Gregory Hines on youtoob

thank you very much for your compliment ! andy iona's 'sand' & 'how'd ya do' are the reason i started playing steel guitar. i was a student of jerry byrd's back in '79 in honolulu. i don't have very many songs that i can play but these are the quintessential steel guitar standards... thanx again. aloha🤙😎

thanx for the compliment.

thanx bill. that photo was taken outside on a hill behind Campolindo h.s. after we won the 1st round of the KFRC battle of the bands in the spring of '67. for anyone who might be wondering what he's referring to : the picture opposite the Beatles poster was our h.s. band, R.C.'s Bottling Co. from Orinda, CA. we had a Royal Crown Cola logo on the bass drum head with the band name...too bad you can't post pics here !

thank you for your comments...he was inspirational for so many of his students & colleagues ! and, as a colleague, we had many training sessions in that room @ saddleback !

thank you. I hope these exercises will help. 🤙☯️

hi chris...thanx for the compliment. that was recorded on my l'il fostex 4 track recorder in '85 - your inner sound engineer has 'big' ears ! it would be be cool to do another version...someday ! it's rather jaunty & hardly a 'minuet' but that's what I called it...happy post thanksgiving greetings !
