Chicago Cigar Box Guitar Summit, Sunday April 18!

Chicago CBG builders are getting together for Irish comfort food and fellowship on:

Sunday, April 18, 2pm onward!

at

The Grafton Pub
4530 N. Lincoln Avenue
Chicago

Right next door to the Old Town School of Folk Music and the Different Strummer Music Store.

Bring your favorite instruments and your favorite tunes, and RSVP to me (even if you are only a a "maybe") so the Grafton can know what to expect.

There are jams there starting at 5pm, so you can stay and show off your building and playing chops and amaze the crowd!

No beer until they learn 3 chords.

It WAS great to see people in real life! Sometimes I think you are all a mirage and I am the only one!

But, yo! I lost my little orange brocade zip pouch that has my tuner and picks and capos in it. Anyone pick it up?

We WILL do it again!
