Had a killer time jamming with the Presidents of the United States of America on Wednesday night. God love 'em...nicest
bunch of guys I've ever met. I consider Chris Ballew a personal friend. He's really helped me evaluate
my music over the years.
Well, the weather is getting colder and we're all hunkered down in Pennsylvania. We're using this time to finally
get the site updated in time for the Max Shores Documentary in the Spring.
Lay down, my dear brother Lay down and take your rest Won't you lay your head Upon your Savior's
breast I love you Boz, But Jesus loves you the best And I bid you goodnight Goodnight Goodnight
The Cigar Box Guitar CD MASTERS OF THE CIGAR BOX GUITAR, VOL.1
I'm sure you've read about old bluesmen who started out on simple guitars made from broomsticks, cigar boxes
and baling wire. There is a new movement of musicians who are going back to the basics...making and playing their own homemade
instruments. They call it the Cigar Box Guitar Revolution.
This is the revolutionary cd created by the Cigar Box
Guitar Forum. Eighteen performers from 3 different continents...all playing cigar box guitars and other homemade instruments.
It's not what you'd expect. Genre's include blues, rock, folk, goth, nu-metal, techno, trip hop, rockabilly and
more. It is packaged in Insurrection Records' "Poverty Pack." Homemade all the way.
On
sale for just $11 at Dark Holler Records! (click here)
