Kevin Sprague (Knotlenny)

You are very welcome and very deserving. Hopefully, my request will push you to make some lessons videos. I am positive you could sell them.

Thanks.

Hi Knotlenny.

You may be interested in this link, especially if you have not complete the "restoration work" on the "How to make a CIGAR BOX VIOLIN" article that was photocopied and posted somewhere on CBN. I was so frustrated by the illegible photocopy that I re-entered the text, re-drew the diagrams and edited the photos into a CBN discussion located in the "CB FIddles" group discussion area. Of course, after completing that I come across the work you did. But, since the second part had not been completed (as far as I can tell), I thought I'd let you know and save your the trouble. The discussion is entitled 'Here's a Readable Re-Write/Re-Draw of the article "How to Make a CI...'.

Knotlenny,

Hey, cuz! I think you and I may be very distantly related. My grandfather, Albert Milton Sprague, and his father Charles, came originally from Swan's Island, Maine, and settled in Buffalo, N.Y. That's where my father, Richard ( the geologist / engineer), and his brother Roger (the artist) was born. They both died last summer.

Interesting to see more performing Spragues out there. Most of us seem to gravitate toward the industrial sciences (the Sprague Valve Company, and the Sprague capacitors), or the arts . I guess I'm lucky to kinda combine both!

Much enjoying your recordings. Keep it real, and keep it up!

Hi Knotlenny.

Many thanks for the friending and for leaving the comment about my little video.

Thanks and best wishes.

Kevin, I believe you are right about Corrina being a good song for varied interpretations.   I like your version a lot and it's much different than mine. I like the harp on yours. I could not make harp sound right, so I left it off.

Thanks for checking it out and commenting.

Knotlenny,

Have you issued a link for the MC download yet? I have someone locally here in KSA who would like (as I would) to hear it.

Cuzzin Oily

Hey Kevin, how's it going?  I've been watching your vids and I just had to tell ya that I really enjoy all of them.  I can quit listening to that "Bound to Roll" one especially!   Did you write it or is an old blues tune? 

try zip code?

You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave!

Hello! My name is Kevin M. Kraft, founder of the annual Kansas City Cigar Box Guitar Festival. This year's event will take place on August 26th, and once again I am accepting cigar box guitars and cigar box guitar-related donation, which will be raffled off during the festival, the proceeds to benefit Kansas City's Blues in the Schools program. If you have a guitar, accessory, CD, DVD--anything related to cigar box guitars that you would like to donate, please contact me at the Cigar Box Nation or email me at kevinmkraft@juno.com  to learn where to send it.

Thanks for you time and consideration.
