I took the short drive to Groves,TX yesterday and visited with my good friend, Jude Moreau. Although the trip was to pickup a new box, the real prize was drinking a beer while picking and pumping songs.

When I got it home, I played long enough to prove to myself that my fingers still know where to go, but they are too out of shape to get there. Good thing I stopped when I did. Ma femme had a shoe in hand and arm cocked backed.

Spent some time today checking it out and admiring the details. I was reminded of how dedicated Jude is to improving his craft. This new box looks and plays great. I will get some pics up as soon as I can.

Thanks Jude!!

Ganey,
CONGRATS on your new "Juke", er Jude box!

Hi Ganey,

Congrats. on your new Bon Temps...

..my Bb I picked up from Jude in February this year is a ' ripper '.I'm playing Creole/Zydeco based music with it and my Master C that I purchased from you is still going strong for Cajun/Creole style.

Keen to see the pics and details of your new ' bebe '.

Regards, Darryl, Australia.

You're right Ganey, the real prize was the visit.
I guess now it's my turn to make the trip.
Just make sure the beer is cold , or the coffee's hot.
I can go either way.
And thank you my friend.
Jude

Ganey, Jude,
What's the cost for a "Jude box"?
First time I hear about Jude as a builder.
Cheers..:-)

ditto's on the price range for a Jude unit. I am about to rip my Chinese ebay into 2 pieces. No respect!
