I'm sort of close to Memphis. I live 3 hrs away and work 1 hr away. I sometimes visit Memphis, having family there.

I was in the Memphis area for 7 years before moving last year. I still have a "vacation home" in Olive Branch, MS. By vacation home I mean "my home I haven't been able to sell". I still get down there some to check on it. I discovered CBGs by seeing Richard Johnston perform with his Lowebow one night. John Lowe makes them there at Xanadu Music on Central Ave. I went in and bought a 2-string soon after and have been hooked since.

 

I wasn't aware of anyone else in the area, but given the blues influence, I'm sure they're there. If you ever have any questions, feel free to ask me. - David

Hey Tom, I live in Memphis, I work in midtown at No Regrets Tattoo Emporium, I always have a few cbgs for sale and play at the shop.  Stop by sometime, bring something you built, we can trade secrets.
