- Hi my name is Mella and Im a Cigar Box Guitar Addict! I adore cigar box guitar for the simplicity, rawness and individuality of each hand made gem! I love when I play them to a crowd and watch their amazement at how much sound a little box can make. I learn more and more every day...

Hi Mella, I liked your photos and youtube videos of you and the band. It's good to have you as a CBN friend. Maybe you will load some videos here? What works best is to click 'share' below the video on youtube. Click 'embed' Copy the embed code. Go to CBN/videos/ Add/ choose the youtube videos option and paste the embed code there. Load it up.
