Anyone who wants a class in building Cigar Box Guitars near Eugene, OR, look at the Student Union (Erb Memorial Union) Craft Center,

Anybody going to Portland Blues Fest in July?

Hi All

Anybody near Tacoma? Seems like Portland is the place to be for home made and blues. Hope to meet some of you in the future.

What about playing at the Quilt Show in Sisters, OR in July 2010.

Hey all. Checking in from Vancouver, WA. I see names I recognize from Handmade Music Clubhouse. I just built my first CBG on a cheap cedar box, but it sounds nice for something as spartan as it is. Nice to be here. I may have to come see you at the Alberta Street Fair, Right On John.

HAHA, yeah it's ok though, I'm so acclimated to the cold if the sun comes out for too long people get manic and weird. It's much calmer when it's gloomy. And yes, that first clear note is mind boggling. Played around on it using a tube of chapstick as a slide, and it sounds just dandy.

I've been debating on whether to list all of my shows in the "events" section, but I don't want to annoy the entire nation. (I play a LOT of shows). Instead, I'm going to start posting a show schedule here once a month or so. Makes more sense to me...I hope to see you soon!
