At 9:46am on August 23, 2009, Keni Lee Burgess said…: Hello,
I have started a CBN group entitled, "How to Play CBG" It is my hope and intention to encourage the "Wealth of Talent" here on the Nation to share their knowledge and skill to further the CBG movement. Please consider contributing an instructional "video" link to this group. If you are a viewer seeking instruction, please feel free to write. If you have any suggestions or know other players who you think may want to post instructional "video" links, please contact me. Thank you for your interest and support, Keni Lee

At 5:07pm on April 26, 2009, David Beede said…: Hey Chris,
Welcome to Cigar Box Nation and to the "unplugged" group. I think you'll find the folks here friendly and eager to share info and learn. Curious about your interests and how you stumbled on the CB nation? I mostly build dulcimers and gourd banjos myself. A local fellow named Hamhock turned me on to this gang, and now I have plans to build a few CB instruments myself soonish - I only have one CB banjo under my belt, but that was decades ago.
Have fun browsing the Nation...
