Hi Thanks for writing, yes I built a very pretty cig box guitar this summer and my friends built them too, it's a growth industry! .

Yep ,.. Laurie . I checked out your videos . Quit your day job 'cause you're rockin' the box all over the place !!! The thing you have is something a person is "born" with and can't be learned . Deny not thee the gift given thee by the ,.. Because "You" have it !!!
Laurie . Thanks to "you" I'm caught in a rut . I've spent the last three hours after work listening to your diddies . I want to be the first one to say "you" have something "goin' on . Your music is "magic" !!! Signed , Never thought it would happen , but my mind has just been "Blown" !!! It would be a sin for you to stop what you're doing if only for a moment .
Thanks for the kind words Laurie. I can't sing or play a note but my pen is rarely still. I write poetry and short stories mainly but this year I found Hollowbelly and decied to try and write in a more song orientated way. I was only going to write a quick thanks but got hooked by your music, so just carried on writing.Hollowbelly is great. stripped down punk blues, his music and words fit so well together. I've been listening to your tracks while writing and they are very good. I like your style, like HB your words fit the music, Thet aren't forced. Your songs are clean clear and catchy. Thanks again.
LLC..just had to sign in and tell you how much i enjoy your music..playing, voice, and your humor...great stuff... we here out on the ranch enjoy listening to them.... brick o cheese and tomorrow are especial favorites..z.
I finally found the secret to MP3 Files...
Thanks for the sweet work and INSPIRATION Laurie Lee

HI
we all Love IT
Yeah, that's a hike it sounds. I cruise up 95 for 25 minutes and I'm there at Club 66. The Cigar Box gig??? 40 minutes up 83 into York from Baltimore. Nice.
LaurieLee -- Been checking out your youtube videos... Really, really terrific stuff! You do have a unique flair -- and a way with words. Seems to me that music plus words makes a song; without the poetry, it's just a tune (like my tunes). Anyway, thanks for your gracious comments. Made my day!
"Beginner"? You don't sound like a beginner to me! The pretty opening riff on "Tomorrow's Another Day" slays me. I've played guitar since my youth, and a little bit of banjo, but you know, since I started making cigar box instruments a few years ago, it has really opened up a new world of musical possibilites. I sense it's like that for you, too. These simple little instruments just invite you sit around on the back porch and plink up new things! I'm absolutely a beginner at recording, though! Just started messing with that over the summer. Maybe try putting together a cd someday...
Thanks for listening! I've been enjoying your music, too. Great tunes & lyrics! As you probably noticed, I don't even attempt writing lyrics! As for the banjos, I used several different ones for my songs, but not the green Macanudo one --it's long gone. "Evensong" was done on the Corina Larks banjo of which a pic is in my photos. Thanks for the friend invite!
