Glad to see that there is a cbg group for Mississipians (even us transplants). I live in Starkville and have been building cbgs for a couple of years. Would really like to get together with other builders in the state. I don't play worth a crap, but I really enjoy building them.

Welcome, Michael. Glad to have you aboard.
I had the pleasure of playing in Ocean Springs at the Mississippi Songwriter's Festival in 2014. Beautiful city.
