I told her I was familiar with your work. I kind of laughed when she said that you asked if it was Diane. She's someone I've learned a lot from at this site!

At 12:07pm on June 5, 2012, Cigar Box Nation said…: Thanks for coming last night! Contact me anytime at the phone number on the postcard.

BTW, I do more networking over here: http://facebook.com/cigarboxguitar

I'm glad to have you for a nation friend. I admire your mando, your yellow banjo like build, amps and the rest. Do keep an eye out for an ammo box. My two ammo box builds sounded good and are tough and strong. I have a recent video on one.
