Glad to hear our song put a smile on your face Elwood! We are hoping to get the opportunity to do the same for others at the Festival and maybe draw some interested ones into playing and making cigar box guitars.

That makes me smile - truly it does -- I enjoyed that :)

Glad you enjoyed or “Front PorchStrumming” AGP. I hope the folks screening our video agree with you!

It is quite the setting BrianQ! If we do get in, we are hoping to have more Slingers on board by performance time. CBG popularity and awareness seems stronger on the eastern half of the US.

Great bit of "Front Porch Strumming" Guys 'n' Gals, very enjoyable listening and viewing :-)

Great backdrop for this one Doug, hope the Slingers get in there! A perfect group to get the word out about the cigar box revolution  :)

Thanks Uncle John! We play inside and the setting is just as cool! Our new digs for live meetings.

I’m hoping playing at the Folk Festival will draw more interest to playing and building cigar box guitars. I’m not aware of anyone playing cigar box guitar at the festival to date.

Big smile good and good on you folks and that cool setting.   Keep singing and playing and smiling.

Wonderful Doug! Ah a jam with your circle. Great setting. Nice rockers. Unity of rythm, very well done!

Thanks Rope and Kale! I hope we get in too. Penny, pictured on the left and at her place, called in a favor with a photographer friend to get our video shot and some PR photos. I submitted the package yesterday; fingers crossed. Only one new face and that’s Mary who participated in my BYOB session at Penny’s and is holding the chugger she built!

We are playing regularly at Penny’s, but still Zoom since not all the Slingers are local. New players are welcome! Anyone can join us on Monday nights at 6:30 PM PST. If they contact me I’ll send them the Zoom codes and a link to the pdf of the 15 songs we are doing.
