I just posted my first CBG Slide tune ever on Cigar Box Nation. I played the slide solos and fills on my Mark Vickroy 6 String Guitar on a Boss BR-1600 CD 16 Track Digital Recorder(actually that's me on all the tracks with the exception of the drum loop. LOL) and then I dropped the tracks on my Computer via USB and edited and mixed them with the programs Audacity and Mixcraft(Mostly Audacity). It's a little ZZ Top Style blues rocker called "Dust My Bluz". Give it a listen if ya like. God Bless!!

I just posted another tune that I put together several months ago. It's kind of a Space Rock sort of thing I call "Seeds Of Wrath"(Thank the Lord I no longer feel that way). I recorded it in my home studio(if you can call it that. LOL. More like a room for all my junk). I wrote this after my divorce. Just trying to express how I felt about things. Not very wordy. But interesting. Listen if ya like. God Bless.

I added another new/old tune. This time a cover tune. It's a classic traditional gospel number called "Wayfaring Stranger". Let me know what you think! Listen if ya like! God Bless!!

I added a new tune today(Well, it's old hat to me. But new hat for others.LOL). I originally released this on the now defunct mp3.com(I believe that they folded sometime ago). This was a batch of lo-fi demos that I recorded between Late 1998-1999. This song is called"Barfly" When I wrote this tune, I had no idea what a Barfly really was(and I was probably about 34 or 35 at the time.LOL). Knowing what I know now about the subject, I'd say that ignorance was bliss. Listen if ya like. God Bless!!

I just thought I'd ask if there's is any people out there that make left-handed Cigar Box Guitars? The Cigar Box Guitar that I own is not actually left-handed. It been reversed and set-up as left-handed. But I'm actually very, very fond of that guitar. I play it just about all of the time(unless it's not what I'm after when I'm recording in my home studio).

Speaking of sounds, I am enjoying your music, as I am just learning to play guitars (midlife crisis? better late than never?)... love the guitar sounds and vocals. Keep the music alive!
