So here is an example of a Canthing: A tenor CanUke made with a See's Candies tin. It has the first set of Worth string that I have ever used and I like them. Only 2 weeks until the meeting at the Strum Shop, so get them Canthings strung up and ready. The prize is ready, but you won't know what it is until June 7th!
I will be there. Might be a little after 1 because I will be leaving after Church but I will be there
I'll be there and ready with a couple new builds.
Will, I made a Can-thing using a tin you gave me at the last meeting - but you won't recognize it. It kinda goes ' BamP ' when I play it. Lookin' forward to the meeting as always.
Well guys, it's only 5 more weeks until our next meeting of the CBG Group at the Strum Shop in Roseville on Sunday, June 7th. If you haven't started your CAN thing, it's time to get going. I have the prize, but you won't know what it is until the winner of the contest is announced.
I don't think it should end. I know I haven't been at the last 2 but will be at this one. It was just bad timing on the last 2 meetings. If you need help message me
I, for one, would be truly bummed at the end of any future of the CBG North CA chapter of the CBG Revolution. I don't think it is possible to extinguish a National this way, but you can say we are disbanded. ... and I say that a few will hunker down in dry little hovels and workshop holes and not re-emerge until it rains in California again, CBGits in hand -some for sale- Triumphant; mayhaps a bit bleary eyed, trailing sawdust and small screws behind us. or - them. If I don't make it myself.
PS. I've got a Tin Cangit started, and I hope to have it just about completed this Weekend. The main tin is one I got at the last meeting, which I have 'antiqued'. I'm gonna play somethin' on it in June.
The next meeting of the Sacramento Area CBG Group will be on Sunday, June 7th, at 1pm at the Strum Shop in Roseville. At that meeting we will have a contest for the best CAN based instrument. Any shape, size or portion of a CAN (like a lid used as a resonator) and any number of strings. I will be the sole judge and the winner will receive an as not yet specified prize. Playing the CANJO, CANUKE or whatever you call your instrument, will be a plus. If you can't make the meeting you can post pictures/video here in this group and I will make my judgment on that. Our last meeting was very good, but only 5 members attended, so the future of the CBG group maybe near it's end.
