If you would like to discover a new and unusual music genre for your station's broadcasts - check out the exciting "back to roots" musical movement of the cigar box guitar. This is another passion of mine and the cbg musicians very much share the same "status quo" sucks attitude of the pirate radio crowd. If you live in the Philadelphia area see the information below (from Shane Speal - The King of the Cigar Box Guitar) for a chance to see for yourself what I'm talking about.

All,
Just a reminder that the New Jersey Cigar Box Guitar Fest is just a
few days away! The show is on Saturday, May 10th at the Auction House
in Audobon, NJ, just 15 minutes from Philadelphia. Get more
information on the venue at their website,
http://www.auctionhouseevents.com Performing this year are Gerry Thompson, One String Willie/David
Williams, tiMOTHy (aka Timothy Renner) and myself. I will have many
instruments from the National Cigar Box Guitar Museum on display, too.
If you've never seen a cigar box guitar concert, believe me, I'm
sharing the stage with some of the best talent in the entire movement.
Tickets are just ten bucks.
IN OTHER NEWS, Max Shores is finishing up the Songs Inside the Box
documentary and still needs your pictures!!! He's looking for
pictures of people building cigar box guitars, playing cigar box
guitars, having fun with cigar box guitars and...well, you get the
idea. Please send a couple hi-resolution pictures of yourself or your
kids (neighbor's kids?) caught in the act of CBG. It just may make
the documentary and you'll be a star! Send them to
max(at)maxconnections.com
Well, that's all I have. I will be offline for the rest of the week
and won't be able to check email until next Monday. If anyone needs
me, email me today before 5 or just call anytime if you have my number.
Expect the best CBG show yet this Saturday...
