David Sutton commented on Tom Manno's group Chicago CBG"I think I need Diane to give me a crash course in navigating CBN, I don't know why but I find it a bit unwieldy.
For those of you who didn't know, I'm getting divorced, and I only bring it up because my daddy/daughter schedule will be…"
David Sutton commented on Shaun's group Home Made Guitar Amps"Thanks, Scott.
My friend Scott Grandstaff tipped me off about the Dwarf a number of years ago and I found one on eBay.
Yeah, I should clarify. It's OLD enough that it has no wall wart, but rather one of those Mr. Science looking, unhoused…"
David Sutton commented on Shaun's group Home Made Guitar Amps"I have an old Dwarf AC/DC amplifier that takes 12 C batteries (total 18V). The plastic battery holder has recently broken.

My Relatives Make an Appearance in Bill Jehle's Book, One Man's Trash
Posted on December 22, 2010 at 9:27am 5 Comments 0 Likes
I halted on page 161 of Bill Jehle's book this morning to ponder the implications of my own family members making an appearance in his history of the Cigar Box Guitar.

Kevin M. Kraft said… Hello! My name is Kevin M. Kraft, founder of the annual Kansas City Cigar Box Guitar Festival. This year's event will take place on August 26th, and once again I am accepting cigar box guitars and cigar box guitar-related donation, which will be raffled off during the festival, the proceeds to benefit Kansas City's Blues in the Schools program. If you have a guitar, accessory, CD, DVD, books--anything related to cigar box guitars that you would like to donate, please contact me at the Cigar Box Nation or email me at kevinmkraft@juno.com to learn where to send it.
Thanks for you time and consideration.

Wichita Sam said… David,
Just looking over old posts... how did the amp kits from the Canadian company come out? I'm going to need something light weight to do during my recovery period. Do you have any suggestions?
thanks,
Sam

Vincent Slegers said… Hello, Sorry for the late reply,
I must have overlooked your message.
Well, I would sure be interested in producing these desings.
I just contacted Shane to see what he has to say about these, but I am, ofcourse, open to offers.
Thank you in advance,
Best,
Vincent
