eBay Boogie! (On Cigar Box Guitar, Cowbell & Postman's Rubber Band!!)

The music is a short test recording of my latest Cigar Box Guitar which I bought from eBay, plus a cowbell from eBay that arrived the next day...and a rubber band that was around the mail, stretched around the cow bell box and twanged : -)
The CBG was sold by Daddy Long Les, but was made by Banjo Ant, who he bought it from a year or so ago.
It's three string and fretted, built very well and with lovely tone and good sustain!
There's a video of it here (It had the top three strings on which I've changed down to the A,D, G strings)

The video is from the public domain film "Blood of Jesus" 1941
