Welcome!

This is a Group for anyone living in the great state of California, who builds, plays, or is just a fan of Cigar Box Guitars, and similar Handmade instruments. If you don't want to say exactly where you live, just say Northern, Southern, etc. I want to be abreast of any major gatherings...this summer is out, for me, but maybe next....
Stop in an stake yer claim, pardner! .....

The Sacramento Area Cigar Box Guitar Workshop is meeting this Sunday, February 14th at 1pm at the Strum Shop, 408 Roseville Square, Roseville, CA 95678.  Bring your Gits for a show & tell and we will have a contest for some nice prizes.  To win one of the prizes, you have to play one of the instruments in the picture: a Diddley Bow; Ukulele; Tin Drum or Kazoo.  There will be a prize for each best played instrument.  It is Valintines Day, but that's all we got.

Barnes & Noble Bookstores all around the country are having a Mini Maker Faire in their stores this Friday, Saturday and Sunday Nov 6 thru 8.  They have one hour presentations by any hobby group so that they can sell their books on the subject. B&N sells four CBG building & playing books.  The Sacramento Area CBG Workshop will be at the Roseville B&N at 1pm on Saturday, Nov 7th.
