Blues Bender CBGs

Hey guys my name is Ben Tallarico and I am very excited to have joined the cigar box nation! I just recently finished my first build and can't wait to start my second! I have photos up of my first build and will upload some videos once I figure out how to play.

At 4:37am on August 23, 2009, Keni Lee Burgess said…: Hello,
I have started a CBN group entitled, "How to Play CBG" It is my hope and intention to encourage the "Wealth of Talent" here on the Nation to share their knowledge and skill to further the CBG movement. Please consider contributing an instructional "video" link to this group. If you are a viewer seeking instruction, please feel free to write. If you have any suggestions or know other players who you think may want to post instructional "video" links, please contact me. Thank you for your interest and support, Keni Lee
