Hi guys, i was thinking of a unusual christmas gift to ask for this year and i thought i would like a genuine Gris Gris to add a bit of MOJO to my playing.
Does anyone out there know of a good Authentic source for one? preferably made in a Mangrove swamp around midnight and annointed with some Voodoo magic!

I never heard of these before but here's a site that sells them. Might be cheaper to cut off your own ball bag and use it at these prices though...

You should be able to get one from Marie Laveau's voodoo shop on Bourbon Street in N.O.L.A. I have been there many times. I believe they do online business too. You should be able to get a "mojo" Gris-Gris.

They're on eBay...along with everything else. If you send me a felt bag, I will have it blessed for you. Same thing with water. Send me some, and I will send you holy water. P.T. Barnum was right.

You can sure get an education here! I thought "gris gris" was a slang term for Gordon's Dry Gin!
Hey, Geordie--you ever start playing that dulcimer you ordered? I've been waiting for video of you playing with those ladies with the racks--er, harmonica racks and dulcimers--uh, whatever. . .

Hi OW,i started playing it but got sucked back into the harp when i started doing the jam nights and lost interest in it, but i had it out last week and i have been reserching how to play a 12 bar blues on it so i will be making a fresh start with it in the new year.

are we talking some special form of geordie voodoo here? a bag with newkie brown cap, a stottie cake and some rust off the angel of the north- guaranteed to restore geordie mojo.... oh, and a copy of viz too!

Ha! How could I have missed out these great cultural icons!!Despite being based on the South Coast my Jump Blues band is very North East heavy (drummer and basssit from Durham and 'geordie lee lewis' on piano)... so I'm quite up to speeed with good old Newcastle humour- can be quite awkward in soundchecks when London sound crews can't understand half the band.... "let me through, I speak Geordie"
