I recently was with a group with the State of TN starting a new initiative. After a week long series of training was over we were to make an Action Plan for our District.

Right off the bat someone in my group shouted "I'm really interested in  [such and such]. I thought "really, that is a project, not a process; it has nothing to do with an Action Plan". A plan was to help state agencies work together to prepare clients to be received by non-profit orginizations so they could finalize…

Ok, we can become obligated to much to quickly.

That friend I way underpriced that build for is waiting his guitar. He told me today he knew he was getting a real bargan. He ain't no fool. So tonight I started cutting sound holes and the drill bit snagged, tore out a hole. Have to find all the little pieces and glue then back in, and tomorrow when all is dry cut it out by hand. However, I soldered in the Double Piezo pickups, one under the bass strings and one under the high string,…

DO DO tha DO, Do DO tha DO, tha tha. Welcome to the Twilight Zone, do not attempt to adjust your tone knob or volume, we are in total control.

I cannot play anything on any guitar, except thanks to Night Owl can now muddle my way through "Amazing Grace" on a 3-string in GDG tuning. Oh and can do the first opening licks of "Bad to the Bone" - thanks! That's a lot more than I could do two months ago!

I have now officially built three guitars - amazing. Who'd a thunk? I am totally…

As I read on CBN I am struck by the positive upbeat, success oriented nature of what everyone posts.

Life ain't like that chum.

Took each bolt and nut out of the plastic shopping bag, not nairy a one was a match to what Uncle Gus had said buy. I'd heard wrong in my excitement tp build that 1 hr build. or just not paid enough…

NASHVILLE builders and players ATTENTION!

We can all get together and join in as an association of Nashville area CBG. Artist to do charity work including building CBGs for worthy causes. We could put on concerts, donate time to teach the art to children and each other, do all kind of neat things. Heck we could even have regular meetings with tea and crumpets.

I have tried to look all of you up and send all of you a friend request. My motive was mainly selfish. I am a total…

I listen to CBG on YouTube and CBN at work. It appears others Eaves Drop on my music. A co-worker comes into my office to "Chill" occassionally and he really likes the music. I like the old delta blues and just CBG blues in general. He likes the music where the notes are crisp and sharp.

I'd mentioned I had built two CBGs. He asked me one day if I build "those guitars". I replied "Yes".

He asked what did I get out of them. I said $75.00 unfretted and $100.00 fretted. Of course…
