I live here in Webster, NY and am looking for an alternative guitar player to join in a duo project. I thought I would reach out to some of my fellow local CBN members to see if you, or someone you know, has any interest in a project like this..

If you are at all interested, there is a much better explanation of this project online at www.sweettmusic.webs.com

Peace,

Tracy

You can adapt this for any given box, when you go above tree strings it is advised to do so, and even whit tree it gives more longlive for the CBG! greeeeettsszzz A.D.

There are four songs that I know of that use the same melody. This song, You Got to Move (most are familiar with Fred McDowell's version that the Stones covered), Sitting On Top of the World (The Mississippi Sheiks), and Robert Johnson's Come On In My Kitchen. The idea of creating new songs with popular melodies is very common in the folk music world. Enjoy.
