I am a TV/film director from the University of Alabama where I make documentary films and teach a class. My documentary about cigar box guitars, "Songs Inside The Box," was shot primarily at the 3rd annual Cigar Box Guitar Extravaganza in Huntsville, Alabama. It was broadcast on Alabama Public Television last year and will be distributed to other US public TV stations in the coming months. It is available for sale on DVD through phone and mail orders and info on how to order can be found here:

Hi Max, welcome to the Clubhouse! Really glad to have you here. You should recognize a lot of the names, some awesome builders and players. We're 12 weeks old today and I'm proud that we've created a cool oasis. Folks will go crazy for "Songs", I'll put up an ad with a link at the bottom of the right column on the main page if you send the art...

The focus here is on all types of handmade instruments. There are many helpful builders and players here and lots of Groups to teach and learn. We welcome participation so don't be shy.

Have a look around, introduce yourself in My Name Is... and add yourself to the Member Map. There's an active Chat Room where you can ask questions, offer help or just talk about anything with some great folks.

Most of all Have Fun!
