Hello! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE YOUR GUITARS!!! My name is Kevin M. Kraft, founder of the annual Kansas City Cigar Box Guitar Festival. This year's event will take place on August 26th, and once again I am accepting cigar box guitars and cigar box guitar-related donation, which will be raffled off during the festival, the proceeds to benefit Kansas City's Blues in the Schools program. If you have a guitar, accessory, CD, DVD--anything related to cigar box guitars that you would like to donate, please contact me at the Cigar Box Nation or email me at kevinmkraft@juno.com to learn where to send it. Thanks for you time and consideration. - Kevin http://www.cigarboxnation.com/events/the-2nd-annual-kansas-city-cigar-box-guitar-festival
My friends at Bluedog Guitars in Vancouver tell me that you will have some guitars in their new shop. That's cool, some of mine will be there too! Looking forward to seeing your creations there.
Shane passed your name on to me as you are in Montreal, I'm in Alberta and work with a music festival, we thought of doing a junior/highschool build and perform thing, we should be able to get several grants in connection with it and would like to do something that would involve the kids in the creation of the instrument as well as the music, do you have or are you interested in such a workshop
I been good! I think I'm finally getting my shop off the ground again. I got a guy interested in one at my hangout and it's created four new models ha ha
Yes I've been in the shop like mad for the past month but my mind is working faster than my hand so a bunch are half done right now but I'm just thankful to be workin
How's things goin in your life man? I remember last time we talked you were about six foot under with everything on top
Man, glad to hear you're busy! Wish it was only business though.
Don't sweat the reso, Lenny. I never got around to sending the MO so it's cool. Let me know when things slow down a bit and we'll get back on that. I'm still not in shape to buy it yet, so it's no big deal.
Well, things down here are running pretty slow right now. I'm working off and on on some personal instruments, and I'm debating on selling them but I'm still hammering it all out. I'm trying to post more pictures and things but this is really the first time I've been on in months. I'm like you man, things are hectic in the personal life.
Let me know how things go, man. I'm pullin' for ya down here!
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
