 |  Friday night I did a concert at the New Grounds Roasting Company, a place with great acoustics and great sound (thank you sound man John!). to the left: 4 instruments ready to play Above: me playing my miniature guitar Click here to hear me do Interplanetary Chatter Photographer Ben Sussman, with the assistance of Jonathan Sussman, did a photo shoot at the concert and produced these wonderful photos. Below: me playing my "5 String Thing" instrument Below that: me and my homemade cigar box guitar (you can see Jonathan with the lights reflected on far right next to Ben with his camera ) |
Saturday I returned to the Pennsylvania Cigar Box Festival to perform a set on the outdoor stage.
It was a wonderful audience and it was great talking with cigar box guitar makers, players and fans.

| John Nickel and me both played at the Cigar Box Guitar Festivals in Huntsville, Alabama and Pennsylvania this year. He drove all the way from Huntsville and tore up the room with his cigar box guitar version of Stevie Wonder's Higher Ground. |  I was happy to see Casey Baron back at the festival. He is a young man who seems like he was born to play traditional acoustic blues on the cigar box guitar. Hear him at last year's festival here. |
