We once had something kind of cool going with the TransAmerican Hobo CBG project, originated by Nick Pellechia. You can read about it here . . .myspace.com/transamericanhobocigarboxguitar


All those involved had hopes of completing the circuit and producing a CD of original tunes.


Sadly, the old boy is missing in action and has presumably met with foul play.


He was last seen in Pittsburgh with Colin "CubistDog" McRoberts last July. If anybody knows Colin, or has any clue on how to get this back on track, please respond accordingly.

A reward will be offered for the safe return. No questions asked.

Gumshoe Uncle Ted plays Charlie Chan and comes through!

Nice work!
"When I first started Hoboin-boin boin....I took a train to be my friend" or somthin like that. YeeHaw! The hobo's back.
Great News, Ted, how about posting some pics?
Guess we'll have to discuss the bounty, huh?

Man I'm jonesin' to put a CD collection of Hobo tunes together!
You oughta write and record some with him while the hobo is crashin' on your couch.
. . . also anxious to hear what Joker comes up with.

I looked back through the old trip tik and was surprised to find that the old Hobo has actually almost pretty much made it through the original list.

This was the sequence, as posted back in June '07 -

Nick Long Island NY to
Kevin Phelps NY to
Etienne Ontario Canada to
Pat Peoria AZ. to
Mike Sulphur OK. to
Doc Bear Creek NC. to
David Telford PA. to
Colin Pittsburgh PA. to
Gerry Moorestown NJ. to
Ted In NJ. to
Shane In PA.
I know no one here knows who I am, but I'd love to take part in this. It seems like a lot of fun, and I'm sure I could get a song done on the thing in a day or so to share with you guys.
Godspeed, Little Hobo . . . . Godspeed.
Ted,
From the original list, I think Gerry might be the only one who didn't get a crack at her.
Glad to hear the hobo is back on track and riding those rails :)

To celebrate, I put "Got to Do It", which I recorded on the hobo, up on my profile. A great CBG.
Wait . . . So WHERE did the Hobo go?
so how does one get in on this?
The list of players is traveling with the Hobo, so, if we can figure out who's got it, he can put you on the list. (You'll need to send him your mailing address.)

Recent talk about Rev. Mike's compilation CD made me think how long overdue the Hobo comp CD is . . . .
Me-thinks the little bugger has a bad habit of burrowing deep into closets.
well I wouldn't mind taking a turn with it whenever, I'll record something on it if it ever comes my way
