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!

We had an excellent turn out this weekend here at hwy61roadhouse. Several new builds from cello's to ukuleles. Wonderful duet with homemade instruments by our youngest members and probably most talented musicians. I had fun jamming on the harp to some sort musical tune without structure/fun.

We announced the diddley bow builders contest for August club meeting. For those members that might not be able to physically attend, we will accept entry by video. We hope all will attend and join in the fun. We will post more detailed information regarding the contest asap!

 

It was a great meeting! We really enjoyed it and Rat was nice enough to give some helpful advice on playing techniques. I will post some pics when I can.

Had a great time, finally got to join in playing, someone played the only song I know. Nice to see new people joining us, Jerry and Dave were really nice guys.

Diddley Bow Contest

The contest will consist of two categories.

Lap style & guitar style

Both categories will have a 1st place and runner up.

The entry’s must be presented on or before the next club house meeting August 22.

Prizes will be things like a T-shirt, roadhouse Gift card, Delta grooves guitar neck and whatever else we can find stuffed up in the closet.

Good luck and get diddling!

Definitely had a blast are our get together. Great seeing everyone there. Looking forward to seeing everyone's diddley bow builds. Going to try to get some time to build something myself. 

Had a great time meeting all of you and got some really good ideas from all the great guitars. See you next month with a diddley bo.

Got my diddley done, how y'all doing on yours?

seriously lagging...law school and work are getting in the way.  ERGGHHHH!

Here's one of my favorite movies for lawyers next to my cousin Vinnie. Justice for all!

I hope I'm not out of order...

Yep...loved that movie as a kid.  That and the Paul Newman film called "The Verdict."

Unfortunately I won't be able to make this months meeting. So please post some pics of all the cool Diddley Bo's

It's all good! We will certainly try and post some good pics of contestants and prizes won!

Still plenty of time to get that diddley built before August 22nd. If you got one built, post it anyway and let us see what you came up with!
