What do you find most interesting about cigar box guitars? (If you do not enter something meaningful here (at least one sentence long), your membership may be rejected as a spam/bot fake account).
CBG's have provided me with a new and enjoyable interest, whether I am building one or playing (I started learning to play and build in 2017) They have also revived my interest in folk, rock and blues. I enjoy listening to the music and watching the performers. I am developing and working on my own CBG music material.

    Hi Bob, just started a chat online with you but you signed out. If you hear a pinging sound it means someone is messaging you and you can reply at the bottom of the page.

    I confirmed your friend request mate. I don't spend much time on here these days as I am more into frontier and mountain men gear. If you leave a message it will appear on my Hot Mail account.

    Chris.

    Really the Raf Roundel is so iconic!

    I saw the Spit and the Lanc at an airshow which is every year. 

    The british aircraft isnt every year but the have re-actment camps

    and Churchill impersenators. 

    we even seen an old military Matchless!!!!

    Couldnt believe it when seeing it the dude asked do uou know what that is? i chuckled and said yup my Grandpop had an Ariel and a Rudge. Red hand of Ulster!!! 

    love to have those two bike now. A T-100 would be nice too or a BSA or Vincent Black Lightning. Heck Richard Thompson does a cool song about them!!!
