Posted by olds sleeper on June 23, 2014 at 7:30am

fellow CBG players. Darren Brown of Nova Scotia is currently waiting a complete liver transplant and I was hoping to get some fellow DB CUSTOMS owners to show some support for this amazing builder and plan to put together a compilation of songs to help raise a little bit of money to relieve some of Darren's expenses.

The idea is an album full of songs played on DB CUSTOMS Cigar Box guitars by different owners from all over. If you own a DB customs build and would like to donate a track to the project, please email me your track at oldssleeper@yahoo.com. I want to get this set up soon, so please consider sending tracks before July 12.

also please share this with anyone you may know that owns one of Darren's fine guitars. thanks for your help folks. Olds

Pascal Bouquet - French lutenist, he lived in XV-th century. Pascal Bouquet composed many excellent works for lute and baroque guitar. Musical notations this musician survived to this day. "Brande des Hermites" and "Volte Praetorius" - it's two works from the collection of popular dances of France, Pascal Bouquet written specifically for learning to play the lute.

Francesco Canova da Milano (Italian Francesco Canova da Milano) - Italian Renaissance lute, one of the major European composers XVI veka.Franchesko Canova da Milano is one of the best composers of lute music, and possibly greatest lute virtuoso of all time. His work, and the amazing beauty of a consistently high level, and are often performed today.

Hi,

After several months in the making I have finally finished a new album of foot stompin gritty cigar box blues music.The first track "Jesse James" has been posted up in the video section for your approval. The album is available for FREE so please download a copy and help us spread the gospel of Cigar Box Music to the masses!

Every time you download a copy it pushes us further up the Reverbnation Blues chart gaining us more exposure and therefore showing to the ill informed that you can make great music with a very cheap instruments made out of recycled material. After all it is only 3 chords, 2 fingers and the truth!

Your help would be greatly appreciated. It's a cracking album I promise! Oh and once again its FREE!
