Comment by Joker on August 7, 2012 at 4:15pm: Sorry BoxHeads! Copied and pasted from the Ohio Group on the post below, but you get the idea!

Comment by Joker on August 7, 2012 at 4:14pm: Hello, Ohio CBG Cooperative! It's been a while since I have been here, glad to see folks using it! Just wanted to let you know that my band '7 Hills Stomp' will be performing live at Tone House Music-4040 Hamilton Ave. Cincinnati Ohio 45223, this Saturday Aug 11th starting at 7:30. Come on out and see some hard hitting Ohio CBG blues.

Comment by Junk on August 7, 2011 at 11:44am: Hey Joker, a year ago I read a post on craigslist about a punk/blues show with homemade instruments at First Capitol in York, PA. First time I saw a cbg. That night I knew I had to build my own. On my 5th build now. Thanks for the great show and the new addiction!
