Call me jacman. Some weeks ago - never mind how long precisely - having little or no money in my purse, and nothing particular to interest me in this little corner of THE GREAT MOJAVE DESERT, I thought I would chill a little and see the cigar box part of the world.
My journey here is Melville-ian in length. Suffice it to say, i've played ukulele for a bit (not so good) & i have always been intrigued by the slide guitar, pre-war acoustic blues and primitivism (for lack of a better term).
So, when the weather permits i will be cleaning out my garage and setting up a workshop wherein i hope to make cigar box guitars and diddley bows.
until then, i remain a bucket hat wearing curmudgeon.

Kinda hard to tell people to get off your lawn when you don't have one isn't it?
Welcome, we're glad to have you.
I still shake my fist, but i yell: "HEY, you kids, get off of my lovely desert landscaping!!!"
hahaha
