Comment by Wichita Sam on May 24, 2012 at 7:17pm: I just moved back to the springfield missouri area to be a more active "papa"... been building and playing for 5 years.... Playing the Heritage Music Festival in Mt. Vernon in June... we need to arrange an all Missouri CBG bbg and jam. Anyone in the KC area look up Kevin Kraft... He's a great guy and organizing a Festival in conjunction with the KC Blues fest....August 26....

If I can lend a hand to my CBG brethren, just text me...

the best,

Wichita (now living in the promised land of Missouri) Sam

Comment by gary martin on October 27, 2011 at 9:40pm: I just want to support your efforts in creating a local group for cbg enthusiasts,i allways thought that is the way to go ,50 years ago [before t.v ] in australia every suburb had its own harmonica club and i reckon cbg should do the same ,thats why i started "Gold Coast Twangers" and its been the source of much joy ,i wish you the same with your group. ....and ...when the net/power is turned off youll have made REAL connections!

Comment by Barefoot Joel on October 6, 2011 at 3:21pm: whats up midwesterner's, Im in KCMO and love love love cbg music, my wife says I never stop talking about it or listening to it. I live in downtown KC and just started learning how to play pretty much and I just started my own company to sell them for extra income. if there is anybody lookin to assist or have a tips i can learn from hit me up :D
