Phil, is there any update on the Birmingham event at the campgrounds? I'm new here and with CBG's so I don't have much to contribute. But I am interested.

PTL for sparing us, but I don't anyone who isn't touched by the trajedy, especially in the areas where the storm hit the hardest. I hope everyone was as blessed as us.

Okay Bama Builders,

A friend of mine curates a small art gallery in Birmingham that is in the old 'Land of Was' antique store space. He and the owner of the space would like to put on a CBG art show. It is not a huge space, maybe 1800 sqft. Here is the latest note he sent me:

hey.. Campground would like to show some cigar box guitars. So I guess we need to get in touch with some builders and see what their schedules look like. We don't have a date yet for the show. I think we would like to see when everyone could be ready. We would put on an opening and a small closing for the show and it would be up for around a month. We also have a small riser/stage we can put in the space. We would also keep a guitar amp as the space so people could play the guitars. Also for the show , I think everyone should send their own hardware to hang the work, because I think it would be time consuming for us to find the right hardware to mount the work. So if you could contact the builders you know we can move forward on the show. I think it will be a fun event.
Pat

They would like the builders to be there on the opening to play their instruments. Maybe for the closing also.
So, how many of you would like to participate and when would be a good time for all of you? Post here or email me at cigtone@gmail.com and let me know.

Thanks,

-Philip
