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.
It has been 100 degrees outside for the last week so work has been little to none.
More later...

Hey Doug. Good, but tough story. I am very glad that you found CBGs and a way to keep on playing. God bless. (now on to your part 2).
