Hi John,

Thanks John. The box you ask about is a Don Carlos limited edition 2009 made by Arturo Fuente. The boxes on the bench are Padron boxes, and the cbg's on your page look great!

http://www.easy-share.com/1909006080/ After an extended comedy of near misses in Paris, Bob Brozman finally met Djeli Moussa Diawara in the middle of the Indian Ocean, on the isle of Réunion. The versatile American ethnomusicologist-guitarist and Guinean kora master sat in together and immediately decided that a duet album was in order. On Ocean Blues they revel in the textural possibilities of their instruments, as the cascading glissandos and muscular attack of Diawara's modified steel-pegged kora (West African harp) encounters Brozman's exuberantly virtuosic slide and blues guitar. Worlds collide and collude as this two-way fan club creates their brave new music. The pair moves from intuitive cross-cultural politeness to playful theremin-like swoops and whines to ferocious toe-to-toe face-offs. Their singing is another study in contrasts and egoless cooperation--Diawara's filigreed jali wail and Brozman's bluesy growl unexpectedly turn out to be made for each other.

yeah mate, probly best gig i've ever seen considering the seats we had, the sound etc..
thanks so much for the invite..

the recording i got is of very listenable quality..
I like it much more than the cd i bought on the night to be honest..
Still gotta chop it up in an audio editor to add track markers, just two long files at present.
I'll get onto it hopefully before that fretwire turns up off gitty..
i trust u got my message about the prices and are happy etc? a pound should do maybe twenty something necks, so a neck will cost around $2 to fret! :D
have a great day pimp daddy

Stop !!
I worked it out..
its tricky..
i assume u have a paper label underneath u dont want to damage ?
the trick is grow a thumbnail a bit..
and scrape at the edges with it..
after u've lifted a bit, u'll be tempted to pull on it, bcos now u have a little bit of a 'handle' to grasp..
DONT !!
this is when u'll lift the paper underneath with it..
just stick at it with ur thumbnail scrapey, scrapey,
25 minutes & u'll be done..

Does anyone know how to peel off the health warnings on boxes without ruining the rest?
At 8:34am on February 3, 2010, Michael Gajeski said…
Hey john. I don't sell boxes. I think you want to talk to lori wimberly about that. Sorry.
At 2:21pm on February 2, 2010, The Phrygian Kid said…
Thanks mate. I got 1, but it's only small. The guy is saving them for me, but he only gets that one type, he's not even a shop, just a kiosk at fountain gate. I got a lead for u, I stopped in the bottle shop at burvale hotel and they told me they throw a lot of them away there, so I got the manager saving me some this week. That's a dan murphys so maybe try those?

OMG !! ur not only close by, ur also the cigar box pimp!
wow
Yeah sweet John thanks so much.. I'm not lookin to cut yr grassm just give each other a shout when we kick a real goal..
I guess Australians dont smoke enough cigars? Seem what they do only comes in crappy little boxes or tins..
Im not super hung up on the whole cigar box paradigm btw, I'm just as happy using anything, especially if its recycled..
OMG 2 a weissenborn hawaiian thing came up on ur slideshow while im typing this..
i gotta get out of here, my brain is melting from the pure inspiration of it all
