Thanks Uncle John, AGP, and Brian! A popular and fun song for sure. Clearly a bunch of very talented musicians have preceded us.

Stick In or Stick Out?  Good question AGP! I don’t know the definitive answer answer, but what I do know is: it’s a much easier build (I’m lazy!), I have gotten the loudest and best tone on my builds (the bottoms of cigar boxes are usually thinner), and the unique look has grown on me.

Gotta love a train song!! Great selection Slingers :)

Another good choice of songs, and nice to see a couple of Old Crow Style Gits, sometimes makes me wonder which is the better sound, a Stick in a Box, or a Stick on a Box ;-D

Yup, on the great song.   Everybody from Led- Belly to CCR to the slingers and my fave version by Willie Watson.

I agree Kale! Lots of ways to do it and lots of variations on the lyrics too. I guess the song lends it self to personalization.

Such a great song. It can be done fast, slow, folk, country, blues, even on a chugger. It just always works.
