Hi Sam,
Well, when I spoke with my Blues Society contact, he reassured me that they still intend to help me put the CBG festival together. I can only take him at his word, but it's getting late!
I don't know. We'll see what happens. I hate to doubt him, but I can't say I'm entirely confident that we'll get this done THIS year. And I don't want to make plans behind his back, if he's definitely planning on coming through. At best, he will, and a date will be forthcoming. At worst, we'll have to put this off until next year.
I do still plan on sending a CBG event proposal to my local library, though, so that could result in something too. Maybe you could come out and join me for that!

Kevin,
We can always do a "Fest in the box".... one night at a satelite venue (bar or whatever), plus stage time at the main fest, plus a BBQ for the faithful, maybe the second day... that way minimum fuss, easy to do quick to put together...
Won't have the power of a bigger event with plenty of advertising, but it's scalable depending what the blues fest offers and however many CBGers we can get....
the best,
Sam

Well Everyone,
Perhaps I'm a trusting fool. Despite the lip service and even being mentioned in their monthly Kansas City Blues News, I am no closer to a date for a Kansas City cigar box guitar festival. I have failed to realize this vision this year, and it's too late, I believe, this being July already, to do so. I know, I know, the KC Blues Society assured me they would champion this venture; I had no reason to doubt them until now. And I fully believe they intended to help me. I remained faithful, even as the weeks passed. But...for some reason, it never happened.
If those of you who expressed interest in attending or assisting in bringing this festival to pass wouldn't mind waiting until next year, I'm confident we can succeed then. I would sure like to!
Hit me back here to either join me or lambaste me. Again, I'm sorry for the fact that this didn't happen this year.
Special thanks and apologies to Wichita Sam and Brady Scott for their continued support. Next year, guys?

Kevin,
I'm still wondering if a "gathering" / BBQ / picnic / jam of and for the hardcore isn't still possible this year? All we'd really need is a picnic ground/campsite registration and a date (Friday/Sat maybe?) and everyone just show up....
That might give us a better idea of who you can count on to man a real festival next year.....
just a thought, we could all bunk at your house..... right?.....hehehehehehehe,.... just kidding..... ah, sort a.....
the best,
Wichita Sam

I've thought about Knuckleheads; it would be a great place, wouldn't it?
The owner of BB's Barbecue has expressed personal interest in possibly hosting a festival. I've never met him nor seen his place, which I plan to do when the Blues Society board has our meeting there this Sunday. We''ll see, though.
