- #659 Master Grade Chocolate Heart Myrtle Tenor Lap Steel
" I thought you might be interested in a show I did for Late Junction on BBC Radio 3, broadcast on New Year's Day. The uke will also be on a track on the new Seasick Steve record, to be released in the spring on Jack White's label. I also got to play it at a Robyn Hitchcock show. Hopefully will get the audio of that too. So all in all thoroughly enjoying playing my sweet little friend! Causes a stir wherever it goes :-)"
