Still am an important part, just more regional than "world wide web".  You remember when there was only about 5 guys selling on ebay.  Red Dog, Bluesboy Jag, Catfish, Daddy Mojo, and Joker CBG's?

It was exciting then to build a couple and sell them.  It helped pay for my equipment and podcast hosting subscriptions.  I never wanted to get into hardcore competition in sales, so I gave up trying when everybody and their brother flooded the market with CBG's.

It was always about the music for me.  So 7 Hills Stomp has played 5 years in a row at the Huntsville CBG fest and the past 2 in a row at the York Fest.  We've recorded 2 full length albums and a "Live at The Flying Monkey" cd.  Along with 2 albums with my side project "Stoned at the Alamo", which features some cbgs and diddley bows on tracks.

 

The Joker never went anywhere, I just spend more time writing, recording, and playing music than social networking.

 

I do miss our online youtube colabs though.  I think it's about time to do some of those again!
