The next Carolinas Box Guitar Club meeting, #26, will be Saturday, March 3, 2018 from 11:00 am to 2:00 pm at Big Al's Pub & Grubberia, 9306 Albemarle Road Charlotte, NC 28227, 704-567-2333. It's behind Rite Aid At The Corner Of Harrisburg and Albemarle Roads. It is 100 feet back from Albemarle Rd and across Albemarle Rd. from the Good Will store.

If the venue doesn't have a prior reservation, we will continue having a monthly meeting on the first Saturday of each month. Our purpose is to help members develop skills to build and/or play the 12-bar Blues on their 3 or 4-string, fret-less, electric, box guitars. We currently have 25 on our email list. We also have some members working on and playing 6-string bass and guitars and harmonica.

Bring a your new music projects or cool equipment for show and tell. As usual we will discuss individual building and playing issues. I'll bringing my Bass amp and Trio Band pedal and a couple of CBGs. I think several of the Blues Jam musicians will attend to help with our jamming.

We should have a video camera at the next meetings to record our jam for the members that couldn't attend. We'll do a sound check before our video recording so we can get a better recording.

For the January 3th meeting we had 9 attending. We talked about new builds and equipment and jammed to several songs. We were able to take three song videos and several small video clips.

This should be another exciting meeting. The food has been good.
