Deke, thanks for the friend request. Yeah, it hurts more to fall, that's why I avoid it at all costs. The knee pads and wrist guards sure help there if you do though. Just finished my 5th cbg this morning, gave it to my son for Christmas. He helped in the build (and learned a lot of woodcraft/shop skill) so it was a good week for both of us. Did my first french polish on the fretboard. It came out way better than expected. I'll try to get some pics posted up of it. Got another 4 or five being built now also. Again, thanks for the request, and if you're down here, come see, we'll pass a good time!

DUDE it was a blast! I'm gonna be telling this story all year. Plus I'll have to learn some Irish songs. Any good resources for that?!?!?

Anyway. 363 more days until we all get together again. AND, if'ns you're ever in the area anywhere nearby (NC is big. SC is much smaller) let me know.

Hello,
I have started a CBN group entitled, "How to Play CBG" It is my hope and intention to encourage the "Wealth of Talent" here on the Nation to share their knowledge and skill to further the CBG movement. Please consider contributing an instructional "video" link to this group. If you are a viewer seeking instruction, please feel free to write. If you have any suggestions or know other players who you think may want to post instructional "video" links, please contact me. Thank you for your interest and support, Keni Lee

Oh before I forget, hell yeah to Kings of Nothin' on the page! They are fuckin' supreme!

Thanks man, I'm glad you like my shit. I don't do gigs as often as I'd like to, but I do a lot of street performing. This summer I'll probably be out there every day. I'm definitely hoping to get to that festival, man, not too many good acoustic blues players here in Boston, and the guys that do know their way around a blues don't really like to share what they know, so a campfire jam sounds sweet as hell.
Cheers, man.

Thanks for commenting on my demo video, I appreciate it. You have some nice lookin guitars and amps here as well. I like the vintage feel of a few of them, like the OIC two string for instance. Nice work.

Yeah, I've been in the shop alot. Trying to get my guitar tunings correct. I'll build two CBG's just about the same way & the sound is totally different. The MandoCBG is kicking my butt fer sher! I'm thrilled with my amps though! Lookin' forward to showing 'em off at the Blues Fest!

You've been busy! Making me feel like a slacker, I haven't been down in the shop much.

We gotta have us a git-together.
