How did you learn about Cigar Box Nation?
Surfing the net while waiting for my first two CBG's to arrive that I bought from eBay, back in Oct 2009. There was a postal strike and I think I must have watched nearly every CBG video on Youtube and found THE NATION : -)

    Sorry I'm on a roll now :)

    I noticed on one of your comments you were after a loop pedal and added the link to ambiloop, which I've downloaded. Haven't tried it yet.

    I treated myself to a Boss RC20 Loop station pedal and I have to say..for me, I think it's much better than the akai headrush. My mate has a headrush and I've tried it.

    Not wishing to be too forward, but you're welcome any time to pop round and have a go on the Boss pedal. It opens up a whole new playing field, definately one of my better purchases !! Anyway..the offer's there.

    Cheers

    Gary

    They were obviously dead as a dodo.. new strings..found that zing...woohoo !

    I'll do a vid when I can.

    Cheers

  • Letha Allen

    Hi Be,

    Thanks for the commen. No, there aren't as many women playing, but they just don't know what they are missing. I just love your sound, and am glad that I had the chance to listen to you play.

    Got the CD.  It came really fast.  Thanks to you and your mail room man, Dave.  We put a better photo in the photo section.  Thought you might get a chuckle out of this one when the cam went off before one of us (the slow one) was ready.   :)

  • Letha Allen

    Hi Be,

    Thanks a lot. I could probably go back and find the tracks again to re mix it a little, but I did it a few years ago and might take me some time. I was just sitting here listening to your music!Wonderful songs, vocals and playing Be, nice!

  • Letha Allen

    Hi Belinda, Firstly it was great to finally meet you and Dave on Saturday and to hear you play live. Great set!!! Thanks to Dave, my first appearance on CBN was solo with a kebab, lol. We promise will be practising later but thanks for crankin' up the pressure! Thanks for the friend request too, I was going to do 'the honours' but we stayed on in Cambridge for a bit of sight seeing, so ya beat me to it. 'Til next time, keep up the good work. B-)

  • Darren "Deadman" Manion

    Hi Be, no Belinda boxes but I do have a few Dunhill boxes. A lot thicker construction so good for amps. 

    Cheers Darren

  • Darren "Deadman" Manion

    Shoot me Belinda before I become dangerous. Having a dim moment, I had seen you had made an amp out of a Belinda box and made the connection with the amp but not the fact that "Be" was short for "Belinda" hence the Belinda box ....Dohh!!

    So to answer your question in a more sensible way, no I have no Belinda boxes :OD

    I'm going to lie down in a darkened room for a while now.

    Best

  • Hal Somervill

    Dear Belinda, I am very sorry to hear about your fathers' passing. I had a friend who passed away 2 weeks ago and I sent his wife the link to one of your songs. Please take comfort in knowing you've impacted many lives with your talents and I'm sure your father was very proud of you.

    My Best Always

    Hal

  • Tony Brown

    Any chance I can ask you for advice as things progress ???
    Got two 3 string CBGs on the go at the moment but , you know how it goes, one waiting for a coat of varnish to dry and the other one waiting for glue to dry etc etc.

    Then the next one will be a Bass. Got a 40" piece of hardwood ready.

    Cheers

  • Mike "Katfish" Karash

    Love "Pass it on", when is the next release???!!!

    Thanks very much: Colin

    Album Notes
    Cigar Box Guitar and classical music met again after 150 years!

    In the middle of XIX century there were musicians who classical pieces performed on homemade instruments such as Cigar Box Guitar. But, unfortunately, there are no records of these unique 
    performances did not survive. How do sounds classical music of the Renaissance on cigar box guitar? 

    "Das Wohltemperirte Cigar Box Guitar" Album ( translation: Well-Tempered sigar box guitar ) was recorded in a home studio by Eugene Nemov. 

    The list of works you will see all the familiar songs and names of composers such as Franz Shubert, Tchaikovsky, Beethoven, Albinoni and names of familiar music lovers Renaissance: Pascal Bouquet and Francesco da Milano.

    Pascal Bouquet - French lutenist, he lived in XV-th century. Pascal Bouquet composed many excellent works for lute and baroque guitar. Musical notations this musician survived to this day. "Brande des Hermites" and "Volte Praetorius" - it's two works from the collection of popular dances of France, Pascal Bouquet written specifically for learning to play the lute. 

    Francesco Canova da Milano (Italian Francesco Canova da Milano) - Italian Renaissance lute, one of the major European composers XVI veka.Franchesko Canova da Milano is one of the best composers of lute music, and possibly greatest lute virtuoso of all time. His work, and the amazing beauty of a consistently high level, and are often performed today. 

    Just the album includes two copyright works Eugene Nemov - "French dance" and "English dance". They are written in a popular style of lute music of the Renaissance .

    All works have been performed at 3-string classic guitars from cigar boxes, made by Eugene Nemov. Description and images of these instruments You can see on the site www.cigarboxguitars.ru and personal Evgeny Nemov page on the www.cigarboxnation.com ;

    Enjoy!
