Ann Wilson of Heart. These are some old live concert videos before the sisters sacked most of the band and went corporate-rock in the '80s. Ironically, sister Nancy sang their only #1 hit. Nancy sings well too, but Ann is in a class by herself. She even does a credible Robert Plant! One of the best female singers of all time, and all but forgotten today. Now we have Taylor Swift. I threw my radio away.
This is a fret slot cleaning tool that I made from my old favorite steel packing strap in about 5 minutes. Once again, the inspiration is the StewMac catalog, where their tool is much nicer, and about $15. I ground the strap to a hooked point on the bench grinder and made the handle from popsicle sticks and tape. My tool is double-ended, very similar to my binding scrapers. The material is nearly the right thickness, a few passes on a file and it was perfect. The edges are all square, so the tip is a tiny chisel.
