Hello CBN! My name is Eric, and I'm from east coast Canada. Province of New Brunswick. Thought I should introduce myself since signing up a day or two ago. Came across this site on Facebook and quickly became a fan and wanted to join..many thanks for opening the doors with a welcome.

I'm 59, a retired graphic designer and illustrator, with inherited musical interests...my grandfather played tenor sax during the big band era, my mom and aunt played and taught piano, and I dabbled in both piano and guitar as a youth and still strum occasionally on the old 6 string. I have played, taught and competed with bagpipes now for close to 40 years, but look forward to building and learning to play the cigar box guitar. I'm totally intrigued.

Just starting to tear into this site, but am amazed at the amount of info and resource material included here. What a great community to become a part of. Thanks to everyone who has shared and contributed something here...very much appreciated by newbs like myself.

I look forward to sharing some pics and vids once my first attempt at a build is complete. In the meantime, I intend to immerse myself into the awesomeness of this site! Cheers everyone and thanks for having me!
