Well, now I am committed.
Boulder Mini Maker Faire has accepted my proposal for a jam session.
I intend to start by talking a bit about the history of diddly bows and CBGs, and maybe even nail together a diddly bow during the session, and play around with it.
I am going to bring an assortment of canjos and diddly bows for people to twang on, and I will pick a simple song to teach, then just get everyone making sounds together.
I would dearly love to have some of our CBG and hand-made music community in Colorado show up for this. I will post more details when I have them.
Boulder, CO, Jan 31 and Feb 1
So, a little background.
This summer, I "finished" my first CBG, a 3-string fretless. It had been something I wanted to do for a long time, and I finally just did it.
I took it along when I visited the Orchard Festival run by the South Westminster Artist Group in September, and got a lot of interest and comments.
Then, I took it to Loveland for the Northern Colorado Mini Maker Faire, and got a lot more interest and comments.
In fact, the organizers of the Boulder Mini Maker Faire, which will be January 31 and February 1, 2015, asked me if I was interested in some kind of jam session or venue.
Hmmm.
Well, at the time, I could only play the chorus of "Wild Thing." Since then, I have added "Happy Birthday" to my repertoire.
I am not exactly impressive in my playing.
HOWEVER!
I know there are at least a few of us here in Colorado, and some of you villains can actually play.
Is there any interest in some kind of home-made music session in Boulder at this Faire?

Hey All,
Started another "group" and waiting for Ted's approval. It is titled "CBG Music Fest in Nova Scotia.
We're looking to start up and host first annual CBG Music festival in the Maritimes, Canada. Got a few builders here.
The fest is planned to be a one-day event this first year, and is slated for Sat. June 25th. chose early summer because Stan Fest in Cape Breton kicks off music fest season here in Nova Scotia on first weekend in July, so we didn't want to lose potential visitors or performers due to other venues.
We are hoping to pursuade as many of you here in the clubhouse to attend as players. We want this event to be a sort of fundraiser to help promote music in all forms...to spread the word to those unfamiliar to the world of handmade music...and to have a great time.
Look forward to hearing from you.
