I've been playing lately with my old friend Forrest Smith. He's a talented song writer as well as a dynamic performer. Forrest makes it easy, he carries the show and I just have to play a little slide or harmonica.
I play a few times a year with the Blessing brothers, Dan (Rock), Larry (Gouch), and Guy. They're great and it's a privilege to play with them.
I do a little solo playing. And drop in at the Saturday night open mic at "a shot of java" once or twice a month. They're a good bunch of people down there.
Influences
The delta blues greats; Robert Johnson, Son House..... The early Chicago guys; Tampa red, Georgia Tom..... Jimmy Buffett, Merle Haggard, Allman Brothers, Doc Watson, The List goes on and continues to change.
Sounds Like
A guy having fun Inviting everybody to join in. I play guitar; Cigar box type, Acoustic, resonator, and Harmonica. Actually, I’m a harmonica player trying to be a guitar player. Thats because it’s a lot easier to sing while playing the guitar than while playing the harmonica. Although there may be those who think my singing sounds better wth a harmonica in my mouth.

I spent the last few days building the new Cigar Box Guitar Headquarters, CBG HQ - the base camp for the Cigar Box Guitar Revolution! The stage for Prim Rock. Your barracks from now on.
ATTEN-SHUN - PRESENT ARMS!
CBG HQ is a comprehensive, interactive resource for ALL THINGS Cigar Box Guitar. Stop by for music, videos & pics, history, CD & concert reviews, building tips/links, performance schedules, CD & instrument sales, interviews, art and anything else y'all want to see. All submissions are encouraged!
I posted a few of the videos I shot at the 2007 Cigar Box Guitar Extravaganza, and a link to more. There are a lot of photos of the instruments in the National Cigar Box Guitar Museum, and a link to the entire collection. You can also link to the Cigar Box Guitar Forum and chat with fellow CBG addicts. We even have a 24/7 internet radio station!

ADD CBG HQ TO YOUR FAVORITE FRIENDS!
(I will keep the membership pure. I won't troll for friends just to see how many I can collect. I won't approve a friend request unless I think you have something to add. I won't post spam comments and I probably won't approve your comment if I suspect a bot sent it and you never visited the page. Anyone can visit, but if you want to register I expect you to contribute or ask questions of the battalion. So spank me.)
Hi Pat,
I hope all is well. I was wondering if you would be intrested in playing down here this weekend. Let me know I would love to have you. I am trying to make it more music than open mic. I think that is the way to go for now. If you know anyone that would like to come and play here let me know. Thanks Lisa
