I could be mistaken? But I think this is the first known cigar box guitar recording from the 1920's. I have Cigar Box Guitars for sale at the website https://reddogguitars.comor Google search - Red Dog GuitarsI also have more old time cigar box blues videos here, https://www.youtube.com/user/johnmcnairAll of the music videos are only 3 and 4 string Cigar Box Guitar music. NO regular guitars.

It's a hoax. A pretty easy one to spot.

Sounds like an old Red Dog recording from the 20's, maybe earlier!!! Makes the hair stand up on the back of my neck about 2:20 minutes in, love it!!!

Red Dogs are sly and lie often. Good though!
