No,  but I`m an American patriot   U.S.M.C   70 - 74 .

For those about to rock...we salute you. Seriously.

If by American patriot you mean a man who loves and serves his country. Then I sure am one. I am a navy veteran of the Afghanistan conflict. I am also a US Navy Sailor and will be until they throw me out. I spent a year of my life introducing other soldiers and sailors over in the sand the beauty of the cigar box guitar. The cbg for soldier group here has made it possible for many of the people I met to receive a free instrument from the nation. Again my thanks goes out to them for all they do. As far a cbgs go. They changed my life forever the day I first heard Shane play one on the old site. I downloaded plans and built one and I never looked back. it was like telling the bad english student to just write your story, do not worry about spelling or punctuation. If the story is there just tell it. The absence of rules allowed my inner musical voice room to shake off the insecurities and just play. To this day picking one up and playing it feels like I imagine it must feel like to ride a bull or wrestle an alligator or drive a car 100 miles an hour and then just chuck the steering wheel out the window God bless the cigart boxguitar and all who love them!!!!! Amen.
