How did you learn about Cigar Box Nation?
Telepathy
Hello there

My name is Brian. I used to be based in London and was a harp player with a little Blues band in the 80's. Moved to Devon a couple of years ago with my guitar collection and bought a mountain dulcimer. Decided I wanted a stick dulcimer so I set about making one from scratch – that led me into various cigar box type instruments – (actually I either make the bodies or use old trinket boxes) and I now have several assorted versions. Then I discovered the joys of fretless necks and then went electric.

I have a couple of channels on YouTube but I use my main one for just about anything: https://www.youtube.com/user/MRandomWritings

You might also check out my instrument website http://randomguitars.webs.com

Like most people here, I am learning new building tricks all the time and I am happy to share my successes and failures!

Oh and if anyone needs a harp player for a local gig... you can always ask so long as I can always refuse!

Cheers

Brian,

   Thanks for sharing the shindig vids and the work that went into the whole deal.  Also, thanks for spreading them out.  I don't like it when somebody puts up multiple vids at once and knocks people off the main vid page. 

John

Hi Brian, just read the YouTube comment...yeah shame there were no women! btw I didn't have the procedures done in the end as my health insurance company wouldn't pay. Took them 5 bloody weeks to decide that (they usually tell you in a day or two)  Anyway after one day of frustrating phone calls I wrote a song. It's called "Lies" !! ( I kept it deliberately vague so most people will think it's about a relationship I think) Just trying some different drugs to get things as good as I can. It's a matter of weighing up benefit against the side effects : -/.....
