It seems that the only interest in CBG's is for playing blues slide. Does anyone use it for say country, or blue grass?

Sure ! I build 2 & 3 string fret less sliders, 1 string diddley bows & canjos. My favorite tunes to play are old gospel hymns, old folk tunes and anything else that might come to mind !!!
I have heard CBG's used for every type and style of music , like the one I uploaded, not sure what style it would be called, it was just something that popped into my head. I think you could call it Improvisational, or jam, because what ever showed up in my head went out my hand, which is great, because you can make it as long or short as you wish, and nobody knows but you :)
Great vids here.
Bagpipe swing - your argument is invalid

No, I believe it's a rule, maybe even a law, that you cannot play anything but the blues on a cigar box guitar, ever.
Just kidding.
Country, yes. But bluegrass . . . .Those bluegrasserrs being the ultimate instrument snobs that they are, well, . . . not much of a chance there.
Hey Matt! Just replied to you over on another discussion...
Anyway, if you go to Smithville (TN) for the Fiddler's Convention over the July 4th weekend, they'll definitely stick you in the "Novelty Instrument" category. I don't know whether to consider it snobbery because they won't recognize a CBG as a "real guitar" or whether it's very open-minded of them to provide a category for the unexpected instruments. Be advised that the "novelty" group will lump you in with washboards, cowbells, and garden hoses.
Mostly, I try to get on a Bluegrass stage by playing a traditional instrument and then flash the CBG or Canjo for just one tune every so often. Reactions vary: some are kind; some are more like pity.
