"John-Ya, I still learned way too much about violins building them. The fret board had way too much room for human error."

Uncle John commented on Kevin Patrick's photo

"Kevin, those are both far prettier and more so fisticated than mine. The bowing is HARD to get going. I was doing pretty fair on a flat finger board two string, but I needed a third string because I could not reach the higher notes with the 2…"

What do you find most interesting about cigar box guitars? (If you do not enter something meaningful here, your membership may be rejected).: The thought that I can make music out of junk I have laying around really amazes me. I have also attended the Sunflower River Blues and Gospel festival in Clarksdale, MS the last few years and have seen many homemade guitars and Diddley Bows.

I got a couple of support posts on my back porch that might become D-bows come Spring. Sorry, but I will have to tell my girl you were one one who inspired me - she won't go as far from us as Iowa to hunt you down for a whoopin' though... ;)
