Kansas City - 8.26.12 Cigar Box Guitar Fest - Kansas City Missouri

The KC CBG fest is hosted by Kevin Kraft. Held at BB's Lawnside BBQ & Blues. This is the real deal for blues and BBQ in a town that loves both. 8.26.12. I'm going to try the combination plate. ;}

Comment by Uncle John on July 2, 2012 at 2:25pm: Hey Owl, Dave, Joel and Anders. Thanks for the comments and kind words. Wish you guys could be there. It's not a real big fest YET. I sure met some nice and talented CBG folk last year: Kevin Kraft and his kids, JP, Tim Covey, Toby, Linda, Mrs. Delvero and Mike Anderson from Oklahoma.

Anders, ha!
