St. Louis MO. CBG Club/Workshop

We are organizing a CBG workshop held one Saturday a month at the 61 roadhouse & kitchen in Webster Groves MO. (St. Louis Area). This is also the home to the St. Louis CBG festival each year.

Bill Kunz of 61 has been generous in offering us a place to meet, practice, discussed ideas and what ever members decide to do with the time. Gary Herget and myself are contacts for this club and are open to ideas to make this a fun club. As soon as we have commitment from members, we can set up a Saturday each month to meet mornings. We haven't set a day or start time as of yet. We need to know who can commit at least to a start up and discuss as a group when and how we want to run this. Possibilities are great!

Looks like Egyptpunk and I finally have some time to get some more work done on her gas can banjo this weekend-- we are close to finishing up. Given the looooong drive we would have, I think we are going to wait until we get a couple of instruments done & catch up with you guys later. Meanwhile, I am still fumbling along at trying to play.... If one could call it that. :)

We had another great time at the club. Mr. C, Gary, The Cause the Blue rat and myself shared and jammed.

Each meet is unique. There was another exchange of gifts. I scored : )

Gary brought his huge upright double bass 4/4 and the guys got to thump out a tune on it.

Cause the Blue rat brought in his revived Fender P bass recovered from the curb.

Mr. C also brought in his 3 string didleybo Bass / guitar combo using his hand-wound custom pickups.

We look forward to hearing those new builds you and your daughter are putting together!
