Information has leaked out that several underground movements using homemade instruments have surface in rural and highly populated areas around the world!
Surveillance photos are no longer needed with the amount of intel coming in through on line media.
We now know the six strings is no longer our main concern. We’re seeing a mass movements in the 4 & 3 string areas spreading like an infection.
Additionally, Bold buskers strumming their hand…

Once a month every 3rd Saturday from 9Am till 11AM we meet at the Hwy61roadhouse to share our builds and play as many sounds as we can squeeze in.
We often mix it up a bit with gift exchanges/swaps and once in a while a member will drop in to give away a stash of boxes or what not.
We decided on a build contest for our next meeting. Three hours may seem like a lot but actually the club has so many things happening at once, before you know it, it's time to go…

There isn't much about building a cbg that I find tedious but set up can be trying. I like a fairly low action on fretted cbgs and with that comes the requirement to refine bridge height and usually the nut (slots or overall height).
I was forever shimming or remaking bridge saddles trying to get the…

Forty Ounce Feller
My name's Carroll and I'm a guy. I say that up front so there's no confusion. This is a story about Forty Ounce Feller. Forty's birth name is Bobby, but only his momma calls him that. You'll probably figure out the nickname as the story goes on.…

What's In A Name? ,by Jamie MacBlues (with thanks to Uncle John)
I thought I was alone in having the Christian name I was blessed with........

Carroll Is A Guy's Name Too by John Bolton
Everybody has some weird shit happen to them, but I've had more than my fair share, starting out the day I was born and my folks named me Carroll. Carroll is a guy's name too.
I live in a piss-ant little town. We got cheap housing, low taxes and one store, the Kwik Stop. I was in there one night paying for gas and this…

This pic is my first CBG. Tuned GDG and Diatonic, may refret to chromatic as my fingers aren't long enough on the 25.5" scale.

If you are following along, you know about the trials and sometimes tortures I put myself through performing at the Acoustic Blues Open Mic Nights at Caffe Lena in Saratoga Springs. To be fair, I judge myself pretty critically in an effort to figure out this live solo performance thing - acoustic no less. In a lot of respects, I have little business being up on the stage at this point of my musical journey, but that doesn't show much initiative, does it?
Here's a pic of the Acoustic…
