Music Basket
by Tracy Lee Nelson
1996. I was in my room changing my guitar strings after our 1996 Super Bowl show in Tempe AZ. At that time I was playing with the band REDBONE. Thinking to myself, I need to do something special with these guitar strings? I had been for the past few years making our traditional native baskets here on the reservation. I came up the idea of using my guitar strings to make a Music Basket from all the shows where I played with super stars, musicians and bands that I looked up to and was very honored to play with.
