It was Street Music Week in Spokane and the Slingers made their first public appearance busking for charity. We had a blast and I could see onlookers singing along with us.

Thanks Kale! It was fun watching people trying to figure out what we were playing since Cigar Box Guitars are not a real presence in Spokane yet. We are working at changing that. One of the things that is satisfying to me is that everyone is playing a guitar I made.

Thanks Pieter! I have got nothing but great feedback for the participants. It was a new adventure for them.

Well done guys. It seems to me a fun time was had by all.

That’s why Greg and I bring the ladies AGP! I don’t know what the deal is but it’s easier to get women to play cigar box guitars, so I go with the flow.

"Well Done Slingers", A Pretty Bunch of Buskers!, except for the 2 guys in the middle. ;-D

Loose and in the Wild; you called it Rich! Keeps life interesting!!!

Comment by Doug Thorsvik on June 18, 2022 at 4:55am

It was fun Uncle John and well worth our time. We picked easy, well known songs. As you know for a public performance you have to dress for the role!

They're loose !

Looks like fun and a nice venue.  That outlaw looking guy in black in the middle looks like Black Bart Thorsvik, the notorious 2 string CBG slinger.
