Don't be shy about coming to The Crossroads, just come along and enjoy the great music any Thursday!

Keni Lee Burgess said… - I just wanted to say your reso CBG looks great with that rustic early "ma and pa kettle" look. Are you going to post sound clips or better yet video? Nice work.

- 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
