Profile Information

How did you learn about Cigar Box Nation?: duh.

My name is John McColley and I'm a one man band/cigar box guitar enthusiast. One of my friends recommended that I join this site and I'm really glad she did.

Basically, I'm here to pick your brains about building these beautiful instruments and to help spread the appreciation of cigar box guitars. Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to make me feel welcome here. I hope to have some pics of my own creations coming soon!

Here are a couple vids of me playing my Subverso Fiddle and Purgatory Hill Harp. (built by Rollie Tussing and Johnny Lowebow respectively) I hope you like 'em...

This year's event will take place on August 26th, and once again I am accepting cigar box guitars and cigar box guitar-related donation, which will be raffled off during the festival, the proceeds to benefit Kansas City's Blues in the Schools program. If you have a guitar, accessory, CD, DVD--anything related to cigar box guitars that you would like to donate, please contact me at the Cigar Box Nation or email me at kevinmkraft@juno.com to learn where to send it.

Thanks for you time and consideration.

- Kevin

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
