Why CBG's?

 Well to start off with I'm not much of a blogger but I will try to say something every so often.

 I have been asked several times "Why CBG's?" I played guitar all of my life until I got, Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy, CIDP for short. Not going into a long meaning of it, I have lost the ability to grip the neck of a guitar. I thought my music was over except for running sound and doing some small recording work.

 A good friend of mine and the lead guitar, vocal for a band called 1 Hundred Proof that my son plays bass in built a double neck one out of a old silverware box his Granny gave him. He wrote a song called "Hillbilly Dobro" and I was hooked. This has been a few years back. I never did it. Don't know why. I had a great wine box to build a double neck but just never built it.

 I have never had a good place to do woodwork and still do not. I live in a small apartment on the second floor and have a porch that overlooks the parking lot. This is my workshop now. The landlord is not keen on this but she kinda overlooks it for now.
