I remember back in the early days, 2009-2013 or so.  You could post a video and sometimes it would be off the main page in a day due to so many posters.  A really good vid would get 200 views.   It was truly a case of more being merrier.  So many have come and gone.  James, Clock, Turtlehead, Mike Binghan, Jamie Mac Blues, Buggy, Richard, Dave, Pick and a lot more.  

I was young and good looking then too.  

Is the Gitty show still going?

Well, on that topic, Brian, it's not just the site.  The newness, novelty and revolution is mostly over.  I think it will always be a good hobby, being creative in design, building and playing, 

I still want to hang out with the CBG folks and encourage them.

You’re right kale, Rich Sundberg would drop a video reminder the week before St. Patrick’s? But originally the first one or two was during fall? I think the reason it’s slipping away is due to the lack of activity here at the site, it’s been dismal compared to years past? Maybe time for somebody else to take the reins, maybe make announcements on CBN- FB,Instagram,TikTok groups pages to get some participation? I’ll support it either way, cheers :)

It was sure fun,  Maybe in a year or two.

Hey John. I'm pretty sure the event always coincided with March Madness which just kicked off. I agree though, since the passing of Dave and Richard being MIA for the last year or so... I think the interest has all but died. Sad.

It was fun for several years.  My personal interest has died.   But it might be revivable.  It was usually more of a winter time thing.
