I would love to visit Naples some day!

At 5:50pm on August 4, 2012, Kevin M. Kraft said…: Hello! My name is Kevin M. Kraft, founder of the annual Kansas City Cigar Box Guitar Festival. This year's event will take place on August 26th, and once again I am accepting cigar box guitars and cigar box guitar-related donation, which will be raffled off during the festival, the proceeds to benefit Kansas City's Blues in the Schools program. If you have a guitar, accessory, CD, DVD--anything related to cigar box guitars that you would like to donate, please contact me at the Cigar Box Nation or email me at kevinmkraft@juno.com to learn where to send it.

Thanks for you time and consideration.

- Kevin

At 4:01am on December 16, 2010, colin mcgrath said…: It is a goofy somewhat ridiculous change of the word neat. I use it for situations that are above and beyond using the term neat, for something that is very good. I liked the video of you and your friends it was a cool piece of music and video. I would assume that you are Mr. Iodice?

At 4:07pm on December 15, 2010, Tom Lanford said…: Thanks for the invite!! - T

At 4:19am on December 12, 2010, Henry Strat-o-varius Lowman said…: Thanks for theinvite! Keep the music rollin'...and REAL!
