I saw a Teisco neck, think it is maple, at an antique store. Do you builders ever use a premade neck like this? I thought it was pretty reasonable, especially after looking at prices on ebay. $18…Continue

Hi, I have been absent for a while, and am sorry that I am not able to spend a lot of time here due to some obligations and issues, you know that life thing lol...
Anyway, I did get a new 3 string FatDaddyBlues guitar, and am enjoying it. I will be doing a show on September 22nd at the White Steeple Stage in Pinckney MI. Last night, I had some time alone for the first time in a while, and I took advantage of it and stayed up late recording videos of my practice. I added it here if you…

My last blog made me think, has anyone ever started a CBG songwriting group here? I know a whole lot write original music here, I have heard some wonderful creations. Just thought, maybe we should put original music all in one group, and share any dreams we have for our music, or tips on where to market it and copy rights and PROs and stuff. I don't know even if it is possible, but I think this would be a perfect site to have a CBG publishing company, dedicated only to original songs and…

Hi all,
This is not done on a CBG, just letting you know. I just felt like sharing the story. Some years ago, I was a member of one of the greatest songwriting groups ever called Just Plain Folks. It is friendly, and a wealth of knowledge for songwriters.http://jpfolks.com/. If you write you might like to check it out.
Anyway, sometimes we helped each other in this site. Some people couldnt play but loved to write lyrics, and vice versa, so we…

How do you delete songs that you uploaded to CBN? I'd appreciate anyone who know how to direct me, and thanks in advance.

Thanks Letha before the Townes record I had not recorded in about 2 years. Still Looking For You was my electric 6 string and an amp I built with a 3 in. speaker no effects. I want to mix up what i'm playing right now it Rock and Electric blues And the Beatles stuff. I will be doing some Bluegrass and it would be great to here what you think. Take care
Hi Letha! It's @ 80% Reverb & 25% Chorus on a Roland Microcube, Black Label Amp setting with 50% gain. Darren Brown 3 string http://www.cigarboxnation.com/photo/just-hanging-out?context=user tuned F# C# f# (.46 .26 chrome flatwound, .17 plain). Eek! Sorry... to much info :-( :-( :-(
Letha -- I just watched a number of your YouTube videos... Mmmmmm, good stuff! Had to watch "Nobody Else But You" a bunch of times and try to play, sing and dance along! Tremendous! Like so much of your music, it just has that "instant classic" feel. You've got some really talented Benders, too! Kudos to all!
i really enjoy your music. "The Weight" is one of my fav's. thanks for sharing with us.
I'm back on your page to hear again "The Weight" and the other songs...
...GREAT...
I'm honored to be friend on Nation with a great artist like you...

In a song writing contest, I think playing the song alone - as well as you play- is a good idea.
