  Jim, I was in the Tomball King Dollar yesterday and saw they had some decent six inch stainless steel dog bowls for a buck and a quarter.

  Jim, thanks for the welcome. I see that you are all in on Cigar Box Guitars. I hope to start my build soon. Can't decide on 3 or 4 string so guess I'll have to build both.

  Further disclaimer and (Yep, I know...) diddley's can be played several ways, re-tuned and one can find differences with diff. slides, and of course, harmonics on the string, diff. gauge strings and etc., but just sayin', 2 and 3 strings take you to another planet (or can).

  Let me just add the cool creative musician deal with these gits is imho, tunings. 1 string (diddley bows) less, but 2 and 3 stringers and you're all over the map as to possibilities and I do love that. Re-learning, launching into the deep takes us past the flat earth stuff... heh! Enjoy! -Glenn

  Thanks for your kind comments Jim. Been a while since I've been to Houston. Good memories, great BBQ :)! Yes, cbg's are addictive no doubt. I've always got a few in mind, but whew... if I can ever snatch time to finish several for friends... then I can get on with a few for myself as I've some ideas I really want to try out. Nice work and care you put into your builds... nice! Hugs, -Glenn

  Album Notes
  

  Cigar Box Guitar and classical music met again after 150 years!
  
  In the middle of XIX century there were musicians who classical pieces performed on homemade instruments such as Cigar Box Guitar. But, unfortunately, there are no records of these unique 
  performances did not survive. How do sounds classical music of the Renaissance on cigar box guitar?

"Brande des Hermites" and "Volte Praetorius" - it's two works from the collection of popular dances of France, Pascal Bouquet written specifically for learning to play the lute. 
  
  Francesco Canova da Milano (Italian Francesco Canova da Milano) - Italian Renaissance lute, one of the major European composers XVI veka.Franchesko Canova da Milano is one of the best composers of lute music, and possibly greatest lute virtuoso of all time.
