In this Cigar Box Nation TV episode, Ben Gitty Baker is interviewed by Allie Morris, a reporter with the Concord Monitor newspaper in Concord, NH. He talks about why building and playing CBGs is so special, why the movement has had such a resurgence, and how C. B. Gitty got its start. He also shows her (and you) how to play a couple of the most basic slide blues progressions on a 3-string CBG. Originally broadcast live on Facebook on May 27. 2016.

    Thanks guys. It was a good time... we're having a lot of fun with these live broadcasts, and we're trying to make sure we get them archived onto Youtube and added here as well.

    Wonderful interview. I'd heard bits and pieces of your story before but it was cool to hear it in one sitting and to see how quickly Allie was able to pick up the tune.
