Hello,
I have started a CBN group entitled, "How to Play CBG" It is my hope and intention to encourage the "Wealth of Talent" here on the Nation to share their knowledge and skill to further the CBG movement. Please consider contributing an instructional "video" link to this group. If you are a viewer seeking instruction, please feel free to write. If you have any suggestions or know other players who you think may want to post instructional "video" links, please contact me. Thank you for your interest and support, Keni Lee

A one stringed CBG IS a diddley bow, it's just not the kind that I play most of the time, although I do have one and have used it in concerts. I like your playing and singing--please be sure to include this instrument (these songs, in fact) on your CD even when you get one of WillardJ's.
Hey Matt,,,I have always been a follower of your music and videos...Your kids are great...Family is what counts...Hope school is good to you...What do you basically want painted on your willardj folk art diddley bow???I do a lot of chickens,elvis,mojo,snakes and blues singers...Look at the pics on my page...Give me a idea of what you would like painted...Get back with me shortly...I will get this painted and in the mail within in a week...You'll have this by the holidays...I'll pay for shippin you do de pickin...Good luck and may you and yours have a great xmas!!!

Nope, no solo CD yet, although I'm beginning to think about it. Thanks so much for your kind and generous comments.

I like the songs! Is your diddley bow a one-string cigar box guitar? Please keep us posted as to when the CD is ready to go!
Good job!
Best regards, Willie
