Make TV CBG Segment

The TV version of the Make Magazine article. I am on briefly at the very end. If it sounds a little off during the jam. . .my apologies getting John's guitar to hold a tune 10 minutes after it was built was a little dicey.

Hi! I set up a group for CBG players in and around the Twin Cities. It'll be a great way to network with local players, start up jam groups, teach, learn, and play. Join if you're interested!

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

Hey Ed,

No shows in Portland on those dates unfortunately, but I'm playing in Salem on Thursday. Coffee House Cafe. 9pm. Maybe you could make that one? Thanks for your interest!

See you around,
John
