Put this up on YouTube tonight: El Choclo, played on my LAV Koa .

My grandson knocked the guitar off its stand just before I recorded this. Really took a whack...it hit the edge of a table on the neck and put a nice gouge in the back (of the neck). Even knocked the little tuner covers off on two of the tuners.

And yet it stayed in tune!

But I think the neck is tweaked a little. I was getting some fret buzz on the first and second strings that I didn't get before. I'll have to see how it settles in.

Ouch... hoping the best. The sad melody seems to match the story. Well played.

Very nicely done. I learned that small children or dogs & guitar stands are a disaster wating to happen. If either are present here I put 'em back in the case if I need to set one down, even for a "few seconds". I hope you can adjust the neck if it's tweeked.

So are careless sound engineers when pulling cable around the stage.

Nice work, Omaha.

No, I've got my camera mounted to the headstock. Makes for a cool look, don't you think?

Thanks, everyone.

Sounded great, but the background moving around made me dizzy.
