Sad news today in the blues world... John-Alex Mason passed away this morning. I don't know if you're familiar with him or his music, but he's probably the guy who first introduced me to the cigar box guitar. Three or four years ago, I got to…

Thanks... got the bug now, on to my second.
Hi Nathan,
Congratulations on winning the 2011 Cigar Box Nation Builder's Challenge. It's a very nice build. I really like the graceful neck and headstock design. Maybe you could gift us with some additional photos from different angles, if you have some (or maybe after you get your CBB (banjo) back from judging.) I'm sure the banjo fans in the Banjo Player Unite discussion group would like to see how you did the neck and headstock, and maybe more photos would show off some of the other winning features.
Sincerely,
-Rand.
Ey Up Bud just noticed it's your Birthday Hope you have a good one :) - hope all's going well for you mate
juju :)
Congratulations on your win, Been looking at your photos there is some superb craftsmanship there
Let me be the first to say: CONGRATULATIONS, NATE!!
Your banjo is a sublime combination of vintage influences and modern design. Can't wait to see/hear it!
Nate -- Been thinking about you... Wondered about what happened with Hymn For Her at Lion's Lair, for one thing. Looks like you have been busy building this summer. Man, you make some super-nice CBG's! Last week I got a call from the music store asking for more CBBanjos, so I've been busy, too!
