Shane Speal delivered this speech in 2015, highlighting how the cigar box guitar changed his life. It was part of the York (PA) Crafted speech series.
The presentation was limited to 7 minutes with 20 slides in a "Pechakucha" style of delivery.

At first I thought it was a TED talk, really good!
this ought to be on TED.com!
inspiring!! This should be on the front page of the site. People should hear the story. I was lucky enough to converse with Boz way back in the day. I have a drawing he sent me that I treasure. This is the story of how we all come to be here. The creation myth if you will. Shane, you are unique in that you have always wanted to share what you have. You taught how to build rather than try to sell us one. You found other peoples music and videos and featured it to show the whole world how unique the instrument is, rather than just try to sell us your cds or just your band. You featured an early video of mine and then went on to put out the first Jerusalem mules cd! You continue to inspire and offer freely all you have. Building tips marketing strategy and how to play videos are only a small part of what you continue to offer all for nothing. Some days I am made sad by the idea that most people share only their surplus, if I have 2 you can have 1. Shane Speal does not share his surplus, he shares all he has. He shares his heart
I guess everyone has a story to tell . I love CBN ,thanks Shane, but have always disliked titles like "King of" , "Godfather of" etc. All the same, I really enjoyed hearing your story . Thanks for sharing :-)
It's tongue-in-cheek. Trust me. I ain't no king...
Yes ,Sorry Shane ,my comment does appear a little rude ! No as soon as I started to watch your presentation it became apparent that the King of the CBG understands humility & Irony ! There really must have been a time when you felt like you were almost alone on the CBG trail and you didn't give up on it. Your tenacity paid off and you have genuine reason to be proud of your achievements.
Thanks Shane for CigarBoxNation.
Agreed!!! Now we need to get a Cigar Box Guitar Festival here in Utah!!!!
That is awesome Shane. Love your enthusiasm!!! Thank you for sharing your passion with the world!
