Cigar Box Guitar Extravaganza

Huntsville Alabama 6/9/07

 

There will be a special on Alabama public TV with
interviews with me and other performers. The show was broadcast live over the internet with a
MacBook Apple laptop. The audio and video recordings will be mixed and released on CD and possibly DVD
format. It started at noon and ended at 2 am. Many of the performers (including me) sold their banjos, guitars dulcimers, basses, etc.. The cigar box guitars are from the official National Cigar Box Guitar Museum which was temporarily moved to Alabama from Pennsylvania. Many of the cbgs are from the 1800's and early 1900's.
