Thanks for listening. We enjoy reading your comments..

We now know that Teddy can hold his own with the greats of the past. He played the cigar box guitar for about 8 hours straight. There was lots of interest in the sound and music he was playing. I still had a good time and will do something like this again.

We made a sale and so Teddy got some bells for his feet from his cut. He now has rythm. All he needs now is cymbals for his knees.

It was nice meeting some cigar box nation members at the rock and roll show.

We meet refrigerator Johnny and Norman…We need to have a DC region meet and great or Jam…

Whew, finished the 2 Ukuleles’ this morning. Had to install the strings on the way down.

Pictures of Teddy playing at our table. We should have charged $5.00 to stand and listen. Lots of interest and lots of people thinking about building their own. Not a lot of buyers. oh well…

Ok, we now have 5 guitars finished, 2 ukes in progress and 3 other cigar box guitars working.

Will I be done by tomorrow? Yikes…got to go get busy..
