Comment by Greg Potts on July 10, 2013 at 3:06pm: Hey Y'all...Been busy with summer stuff and haven't been on here in a while. But this past weekend I was up in Orillia at the Mariposa Folk Festival and there were two vendors there selling home-crafted instruments. One of the builders was making typical CBG's, the other was building "Can-jo" ukeleles and short-scale tin-bodied resonator guitars. I wound up chatting with each of them for close to an hour and took some time to show off a stomp box and the resonator guitar that I had brought for the campfire jam sessions. Good times!
