BOOTLEGGERS AND MUSIC TRADERS
Music builds community, and so this is a group of people who want to share music with one another, and discuss the albums we share. Blues, lofi, punk, country...whatever. Single mp3s or entire albums, its all good.
Piezos From Outer Space!!!
The simple Piezo Disc pickup is one of the most underrated sound devices. Sure, they work great as internal pickups for our cigar box guitars, but have you ever considered other possibilities? See Shane Speal's "Spring Thing" instrument (below) created by Shane Speal as a way to introduce you to new options for sound design, special effects and possibly inventing new and exotic instruments.Post your weird creations, sound machines and otherworldly piezo instruments here!

CBG Tabs
So you built your CBG and now you need something to play on it, right? Well, if you're not completely musically inclined or can't read traditional music, tabs are your answer. If you're like me, you read tabs and sometimes make them. Paste'em here.
