eBay Boogie! (On Cigar Box Guitar, Cowbell & Postman's Rubber Band!!)

The music is a short test recording of my latest Cigar Box Guitar which I bought from eBay, plus a cowbell from eBay that arrived the next day...and a rubber band that was around the mail, stretched around the cow bell box and twanged : -)
The CBG was sold by Daddy Long Les, but was made by Banjo Ant, who he bought it from a year or so ago.
It's three string and fretted, built very well and with lovely tone and good sustain!
There's a video of it here (It had the top three strings on which I've changed down to the A,D, G strings)

The video is from the public domain film "Blood of Jesus" 1941

thanks Nancy and John..I've heard some of Weird Al's stuff but not the eBay one. Off to check it out on Youtube : -)

Nice and rather hypnotic tune. The guitar sounds nice. At first I thought from the title that this might be a variation on the eBay song by Weird Al. Probably best not to.
