A little blues music with a NorCal/Oregon backdrop along PCH and up into southern Oregon

Hi all! New to this site as a fledgling builder. Been a musician all my life (primarily bass) and I finally get to work at what I love...doing some p/t work in a local music store where ukes are BIG BUSINESS! About a month ago an old guy came in with his CB Guitar and everyone is crazy about it, so I thought "Why not a uke?" Well, not anything new as you al know, so after securing a deal with a local cigar store (I can have all the boxes I want, plus he will put finished ukes up for sale there as well) I said why not? I am in the mid WIllamette Valley and am glad there are other like minds here too!

Hi all, my name is Wyatt. I live in Hailey, Idaho. New to the CBG revolution. I've built 3 now and, 2 more in the works. I would like to colaborate with others closer to home. I'll post pics soon. Thanks for having me in your group.

My sales are done at the Astoria Sunday Market from May through October and word of mouth. Shameless plug!

I live in Seattle. I built a cigar box guitar because I saw Blackwatch's stand down in pike place about a month ago and he wasn't there. ;-)

Just joined this group. I lived in the Seattle/Tacoma area for 57 years. We just moved to Hawaii last September. I thought I'd join this group anyway.

    Take care, Jon in Keaau, Hawaii

Hey James (and others) - I can get together with anyone who's in the area around the end of January.  Let me know if that time frame works for you.  I'm in the Sumner/Bonney Lake area.

Comment by James Kirkpatrick on December 22, 2011 at 7:21am

Hello all!!! I am new here and just wanted to say "Hey" from Spanaway, WA.  I am a builder who needs to learn to play.  If anybody in the area, Micheal Glenn want to get together let me know.
