Not a cigar box but a recent craigslist find.
Listed as a 58, but turns out it's a 1956 Roy Smeck in stellar condition.

Nice!

Is that driftwood the instruments are lying on? It looks almost identical to a piece we had in my backyard landscaping growing up in NOLA.
 
Ya know.... I've been seeing this thread for years and it only just now hit me.....

Slowpaw.... Slowhand. One of my favorite songs. Just call me SlowBrain.

Most folks think the name has something to do with Clapton. I like his playing but was never a real fan.

Been home alone for a few weeks. With the rainy weather and such, figured it was a good time to learn how to use Audacity and Movie Maker.
Music from last night. Video from last summer.

Beautiful, as usual! Your music is always so soothing and the water/cloud scene is amazing. You bring a smile to my face every time. :smile:

Got this in the mail today from a friend in the U.K. We met in the cigar box world but he went in a different direction.
After just a few years, he's now one of the most well known artist in the Weissenborn guitar world.
For those who actually know me, take a look at the credits in the second picture.
