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.

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

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

If you'd like to use my thoughts, that would be just fine.

As a music educator, the complexities of musicology and musicianship can sometimes be overwhelming. Playing and building cigar box instruments has taught me to make more from less. I've found that often, fewer strings give me more creative freedom. When I build an instrument, I have an intended purpose for it. In my music classes I've started trying to get my students to view their instruments not as something absolute, but as a musical tool at a certain step in its evolution.

Please let me know if you plan to use any of this. I'm looking forward to your book's release.
