Hey bro. I just started a group for AZ CBG players/builders. Come on by if you have a moment. I am trying to get something started out here for us to get together and jam or what ever.
Thx ! great story too ! And for my musical knowledge since '84 starting out as a young rockabilly ; also thank you Lux and Ivy !
best regards and lots of success(and spare time) for your future builds.
Our paths will surely cross on this forum....

Yeah, I'm surely no straight Blues-fan :), i'm also into rockabilly, psychobilly, surf, sixties garagerock, country, punk, ska, some doo-wop haha,...On my path of searching new sounds i ended up here and i've finished my first build a few weeks ago and this weekend i started my second, i think i'm already hooked :)

thank you for the complament,nice guitars you have there .db.
Thank you Ken (Noisemaker). The Competition is steep and the openings are few. They tell me if you keep applying and continue to get invited to the auditions, eventually your turn will come and they will bring you in. It is for a lifetime pass (as long as they, MUNY, continues to have the contract with Grand Central!) So, slow and steady wins the race. Just gotta be the little engine that could. Enjoy.
Thank you Ken for your warm Holiday Greetings. Also, thank you for your friendship and kind gifts. I wish you, your loved ones, and friends a peaceful and joyous Holiday Season. Best of Health and Wealth in 2010. Keep Bustin' Those Strings! Enjoy, Keni Lee
Hey Noisey,
I just wanted to acknowledge your kind comment on my Spambourine.
It gave me an opportunity to check out some of your newer stuff. NICE!!!

Thank you for your comment about my video. Actually talent runs in our family. My Great Grandfather Alowishus Lee was known as the Whistling Moonshiner. He was afraid of the dark, so he would whistle to keep himself company when he was running liquor. Later he was known as Whistling Inmate # 53627 LOL Happy Halloween! Enjoy.
Thank you. I have contacted over half of the members here. So far there is a big cry out for instruction, but not a lot of players who are willing to share their skills. There is truckloads of building information, but the revolution needs more video instructors demonstarting their ideas behind playing their builds. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Enjoy.
Thank you for becoming a member of the "How To Play CBG" Group. Are you going to post an instructional video or are you a viewer seeking lessons? Please respond. It is my hope and intention to encourage the "wealth of talent" here on the Nation to share their knowledge and skills to further the CBG movement. Please feel free to contact me if you have any suggestions and please invite any players who you feel may contribute to this group. Enjoy, Keni Lee
