Just joined! Excited to see other Mississippians interested in CBG's. These guitars are OUR legend and we need to preserve it! Just started the building hobby and feel the spirit of the great blues artists in each one I build.

I'm from Holland. Visited Clarksdale, MS twice. The last time was this january. I love it! The Blues is rooted there. You can feel it! I miss it already.

Hello, my name is Bobby O'Neal.  My family roots run deep in Mississippi.  I am descendant of Henry Musselwhite, one of the original white pioneers of Attala County, back in the 1830's.  I'm currently living about 20 minutes east of Memphis.

So glad to be a part of this group.
