Sweet Hannah Lou ~ Original bluesy love song ~ by me

"I can relate, many times I cringe listening to some of my older stuff and how out of tune some of my notes were on some builds. Didn't hear at all when I played it but sure do listening back years later."

"Thank you, Kale. This old silverware box is comfortable to play too. Surprised me that even with an insanely thick top that it still has good acoustic tone and even jangles."

"Thank you, Alan. This guitar is bulky but stays put on my lap. Many of my little cbg's seems I need a strap to keep 'em in place."

Uncle John, Kale, and Derek

I would like to see if you are interested in cohosting with me the 1st CallyFest Zoom Jam for Cigar Box Nation Enthusiasts: An event on the long bare CBN calendar that people could actually show up to and participate in!!!

The three of you each have a solid following on CBN, sing well, and play consistent rhythm: perfect for leading others in a jam! It would give us the opportunity to hang out together with other CBN enthusiasts and connect at a whole new level.

We could use songs from the Slingers 250+ song, GDG, 1-finger songbook. Each of us choose 3 or 4 songs (Sweet Sixteen?) to lead. The Slingers normally do 15-16 songs in 60-75 minutes. I can create a downloadable play along songbook in the order we do the songs just like I do for the Slingers every week. I also have some ideas for some interaction with the participants. I would record the session and could break out the songs to post to CBN and/or the entire jam (I’m sure Kale could do a more creative job post processing the Zoom recording if he wants to).

If you are game for the challenge, please let me know soon. We need to pick a date and time for the jam and choose the songs. We can also do a brief prejam Zoom, meeting to make sure we have everything figured out on our end.

What do you say guys?

Doug
