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!

I have a banjo...I could try to learn it. Or, if you already have a banjo player, I could learn it on Mandolin or Dulcimer? Let me know...

Blue shirt guys name was Glenn, hails from the east side of the river. He did a great job on his first, especially considering he did it all on his own. He wasn't aware of the CBG community to ask for help, but now He's a card carrying member. Addicted, that is.
