Blue Suede Shoes by The Incorrigible Tramps Band - feat. Charles Atchison

We heard this video features Cigar Box Nation member, Charles Atchison somewhere.  We think he may be the lead singer and the other two guys are his identical triplets!  (Note the collection of historic and contemporary cigar box guitars behind him/them.)

Note: Charles Atchison also wrote a great book on cigar box guitar building.  We've linked to it below.

If we can guess which one of those is the real Charles Atchison do we win a free book? I'm gonna guess "none of the above" since he had a beard when I saw him. He really outdid himself with this cool video!

Bearded one is an impostor.

Great job. Sometimes wished I could be in three places at one.

I missed the wild screaming bunch of Charles Atkinson looking girls in bobby socks. That would have totally nailed it.
