I've been a woodworker and carver all my life and CBG's really got me going. It's become a real passion. First saw and heard one at a John Hiatt concert a couple of years ago and started making them and now I can't stop! I want to keep them all and at the same time I want to make one for everyone. I'm having too much fun.

Hello,
I have started a CBN group entitled, "How to Play CBG" It is my hope and intention to encourage the "Wealth of Talent" here on the Nation to share their knowledge and skill to further the CBG movement. Please consider contributing an instructional "video" link to this group. If you are a viewer seeking instruction, please feel free to write. If you have any suggestions or know other players who you think may want to post instructional "video" links, please contact me. Thank you for your interest and support, Keni Lee

I wonder just how many midwestern CBGers there are? I fantasize about organizing a festival or exhibition out here, but...I can't find anyone else who even knows what a cigar box guitar is!

"Good morning Bart. Pleased to be your friend. The ducks you commented on are decals. I had heard someone else from this area was building. My grandkids think I invented this stuff! Maybe we can get together sometime and swap stories. Take care Bill"
