The facility sucks and is stuffy as hell. It definitely feels like you are doing something wrong when you walk in the way the security is, but we have always brought in fruit and other snack foods for the swimmers with no issue.

The Natatorium is a dump but would be a better location. As far as LSU not being willing to give pool time I’m not so sure about that, it seems like lack of effort on LHSAA since LSU is at a meet in Athens all this week.
The L-00 is 24.75” which is considered full scale, correct?
Looking for a full scale smaller body acoustic electric with solid wood top. Prefer to stay $1500 or less but could go higher if the right piece. Thanks in advance.
Thanks everyone. New videos from Federales Fest just added in OP
Here are a few more and some drums. He is going to break out George Strait, Bruno Mars, and the Cranberries this weekend at Federales Fest.

Singing Dinosaur in Nashville
War Eagle Pete, absolutely will reach out next time we are up that way! He ended up on stage in Nashville a few times just by the band seeing him going along in the crowd. I need to upload those to YouTube as well. Then we were in Blue Ridge GA this summer and he did an open mic night then got invited to join the host the following night at a little restaurant he was playing at. It has definitely become an adventure
Oh he is into electric already. Drums as well and is better at drums.

Thanks everyone for all of the encouraging comments. He truly loves playing music and being on stage. He will be playing next weekend at Federales Fest and we are looking forward to that opportunity!

Guitar room
Thank you! He definitely is not scared in front of a crowd.
My son had the chance to play a few songs at Live After 5 this past Friday. He is 9 and has been playing guitar since last summer as well as drums for about 4 years. It was an awesome experience for him and I just wanted to share and brag. I know CSB

Testing out our first guitar build
My 9 year old son likes to wear his cowboy hat with only boots and boxer briefs. He plays both drums and guitar well and his favorites are KISS, Elvis, Johnny Cash, AC/DC and the Highwaymen. He has a record player and sports a faux-hawk mullet like Duke Reilly when he was at LSU.

Thanks everyone. Glad to hear it is a good event. My 9 year old son is going to play a few songs at the fest and we didn’t know what to expect. Hoping it is a great event and opportunity for him!

Federales Fest

Anyone ever been? If so how is it?

Federales Fest
We did Crested Butte Mardi Gras 2024. We drove from Baton Rouge. Left after school on Friday 5:00ish. Drove straight through, picked up groceries in Gunnison and rental equipment in CB, checked in and hit the ground running the next morning. Never waited more than 2 or 3 minutes to get on a lift, perfect weather and crowd size was just right for the resort. The town of CB is also great, still a small ski town, no big chains at all. Was by far our family’s favorite ski trip.
2 different ships, this is straight from your link…

“The USS Yorktown (CV-10) was the tenth aircraft carrier to serve in the United States Navy. Under construction as Bon Homme Richard, this new Essex-class carrier was renamed in honor of the USS Yorktown (CV-5) that was sunk at the epic Battle of Midway in June 1942.”
My 8 year old takes drums and guitar lessons at BR Music Studios. We don’t personally need anything but I would be happy to meet up and pick up and get them to Doug. I know he is always open to accepting and distributing items like this.

All places on Broadway allow kids until 6pm. There will likely be some language here and there but overall kid friendly.
I am doing 2 nights 3 days this summer with my 8 year old starting at the falls approach trail. That is as brave as I am getting until he is a little older and can carry a little more weight. We will get picked up at Woody Gap.
Hyatt Place Downtown on 3rd has been the best value and location we have found.

Sorry, forgot to put some specs…

Yellow poplar 1 piece body
Finished with somewhere between 15 and 20 coats of Tru Oil
Warmth roasted maple neck
920D loaded pick guard with their Texas Grit pickups and prewired hardware.
D'addario locking tuners
Gotoh bridge

The boy can make it sound right, but I have a buddy that is going to do a setup on it next weekend. Jury is still out on the 920D hardware, but probably wouldn’t use again.

Telecaster build

Posted by killinme_smalls on 4/25/25 at 12:11 pm
Just completed this telecaster build with the help of my 8 year old son. He is the musical one, unfortunately I am not. Learned a ton along the way and a few things I would do differently next time but overall happy with the outcome. The boy plays drums (about 3 years) and guitar (less than a year) and also claims to be a singer and is really enjoying all of this. We had to make an instagram to share his work, check him out and follow if you get a chance. He does get to read and respond to the comments (on my phone) so please be kind!
