So, a little background.
This summer, I "finished" my first CBG, a 3-string fretless. It had been something I wanted to do for a long time, and I finally just did it.
I took it along when I visited the Orchard Festival run by the South Westminster Artist Group in September, and got a lot of interest and comments.
Then, I took it to Loveland for the Northern Colorado Mini Maker Faire, and got a lot more interest and comments.
In fact, the organizers of the Boulder Mini Maker Faire, which will be January 31 and February 1, asked me if I was interested in some kind of jam session or venue.
Hmmm.
Well, at the time, I could only play the chorus of "Wild Thing." Since then, I have added "Happy Birthday" to my repertoire.
I am not exactly impressive in my playing.
HOWEVER!
I see that there are a number of us here in Colorado, and some of you villains can actually play.
Is there any interest in some kind of home-made music session in Boulder at this Faire?

Well, now I am committed.
Boulder Mini Maker Faire has accepted my proposal for a jam session.
I intend to start by talking a bit about the history of diddly bows and CBGs, and maybe even nail together a diddly bow during the session, and play around with it.
I am going to bring an assortment of canjos and diddly bows for people to twang on, and I will pick a simple song to teach, then just get everyone making sounds together.
I would dearly love to have some of our CBG community in Colorado show up for this. I will post more details when I have them.
