Well said, Jim- other than the lies about me!

Well obviously Uncle John don't need a CBG for a chick magnet. I mean- look at the guy- he probably has to fight them off! But for me it doesn't matter if the instrument is Cigar Box, Cookie Tin, Salad Bowl or what have you, the satisfaction of playing music on a homemade instrument, out of stuff lots of folks put in the trash, just can't be matched. I like the fact that it opens peoples minds up to possibilities they hadn't thought of. I also like to thumb my nose at "experts" who think it has to be done a certain, prescribed way. It also opens my mind up! And to us  folks of a certain age who have friends our age starting to show signs of Alzeimer's or just plain mental fatigue, brain games like making instruments is great therapy. I don't know if that was ten reasons but it gives me a good reason to get up in the morning!

A little relief from the tyranny of thought.

Good topic and discussion.   Well, obviously, I play because CBG players are chick magnets. 

That and there is nothing better than making music on an instrument I made myself.  

Add in that I play better on 3 strings than anything else - even though I am making some small gains on 4s and 6s.
