#48 When you spend Labor Day weekend building this contraption (instead of being at the pool) just so you have something to play in the airport (and in the hotel) that will easily fit in the overhead and can be heard over airport chaos.

 

It has a dual piezo in the bridge and the Altoids box has one of the last remaining Minty Amps (bought three a while back). Nice sound as for what it is...

 

I AM ADDICTED!

Yup.  Addiction.  I put family and work and should do's first, but in my mind, the cbg project is foremost.

#48   You see an old mop handle in the trash that your wife pitched. You don't really want one, you can't even play one, but, for some reason, that can't be explained, a Diddley Bow becomes todays TOP priority -- Cancel the Labor Day activities!

#43 - When you stay up all night editing by cut & paste this hysterical but true thread into a Word Document so you can print it out and carry it around with you.

#42 – When you start seriously considering selling your prized supercharged luxo-coupe to buy a used minivan to carry all your CBGs, ukes, diddley bows, amps, tents, tables, flyers, generator, cords, coolers and all that other stuff you need when you go to a craft fair in the hopes of selling a couple of these things that are piling up AND TAKING OVER YOUR ENTIRE LIFE AND DEVOURING YOUR BANK ACCOUNT!!!! (Hello, my name is Hal, and I’m a Cigar Box Guitar addict)

#41 – You realize that the recent furor over the US economy’s debt ceiling probably wouldn’t have happened if the UPS guy wasn’t delivering all those E-bay boxes to your door with the Chinese return addresses.

 

#40 - Your prize-winning chopper that shares garage space with your woodshop hasn't been ridden in 6 months and is covered in a 3" coat of sawdust.

#39-You read 6 pages worth of addiction and can identify with most all of them.

 

I was eyeing the deer femur, the dogs found on the last walk, and was trying to figure out the best way to cut it for some nice bridges.  Yes, I laughed when I came to #61.

Thanks for a good read. :)

Chris,

 

I hope when you got back in time, it wasn't for your own funeral!
