How did you learn about Cigar Box Nation?
hollowbelly sent me

I write, I don't sing, I listen. I don't play

3 chords and the truth
That's all you need
For the music to soar
And the words to take seed

From Hendrix to Hollowbelly
From Johnson to Speal
They play from the heart
Singing songs you can feel

Born out of poverty
The Diddley and Drum
Gave birth to the cigar box
And its strings you can strum

The Blues have come home
Its roots we can reach
Our lives are a lesson
Through song we can teach

3 chords and the truth
That's all you need
for your music to soar
And your words to take seed

Thanks so much for your kind comments, and I forgot to say : welcome, here--a great place for inspiration,...:-) my writing is slowed for some reason my pages stall here, that is why I left a short note last night...letters trickled onto paper, slowly....! have a sunny weekend, or if not, at least a music filled one!
