Don't forget to give us a review and 5 stars with itunes and here at Podbean. Heaps of great interviews to still to come as well!!

Episode 21. Glenn Watt

Today I got to interview a really great bloke, Glenn Watt. Glenn was one of the first people who I found on Youtube building CBGs. I found him to be a very humble guy who was very open and giving. I couldnt believe that an hour and seventeen munites could go so fast and we still had so much that we wanted to talk about. Thanks to all our new and old listeners. I really appreciate your support of the podcast and I promise to bring you more interesting interviews. I am in talks with a few at the moment. Remember that this is one of the only CBG or roots instrument related podcasts being made and it's thanks to you. 

Regards

Episode 20. Big Thanks

Things have been pretty crazy over this way so I've had to focus on the full time job. Now that the hard work has been done it will be back to our regular scheduled programming. I just wanted to give some thanks to some of the people who have helped along the way. Stay tuned as there are some cracker interviews being booked in with some more of the big guns of the CBG world. Thanks to you guys.

Episode 19 Shayne Soall from The Oz Blues and Roots music Store. Cigar Box Guitar Emporium

Shayne Soall is undeniably one of Australia's trailblazers when it comes to cigar box guitar building. But it's the fact that he has successfully been running a thriving CBG shop for the last 6 years and building a loyal following both here and overseas that is so inspiring. Shayne Soall is also asking for your CBGs. If you are interested in having Shayne stock your CBG give him a call on 0419 409 963. A great bloke and loads of fun.

Enjoy

Episode 18 Mark Wilkes from Buzz Box Guitars

Had great fun chatting to Mr MRWS and Mark Wilkes from Buzz Box Guitars. Tips and tricks from a great Aussie builder. 

Party on the Patio 4

Ok, this is me basically having a great time with a group of incredible people. Listening to great rock n blues and jamming on CBGs.

I begin by having a little 'rant' about people who are giving Facebook users who advertise or post their business or builds a hard time. I understand their point of view but respectfully disagree as I truely believe that if used sensibly, social media can be an awesome way to spread the word of cbgs around the world. Let's face it, it's the future of advertising, like it or not. 

The middle section is a selection of 3 songs from the night. The first is one of my favourite songs ever and the last two are a jam with Matt Charnley and Rob Chapple who are both playing CBGs 

Finally I bring it back with a word about new players.

Big thanks

Episode 15. Talking Guitars and shop boo boos.

In this episode Mark and I discuss workshop misshaps, electric guitars and why kids on bikes around powertools don't mix. Also, we chat about busines vs tax when it comes to developing your work area and why hollow plactic nuts suck.
