Have you seen the results of the Cigar Box Nation shirt vote?  The black shirt
won with 57% of the vote.  The runner up is the tan shirt with 31%.  Both are
for sale right now at the Cigar Box Nation Store. 
(http://shanespeal.bigcartel.com)  You can buy either one...or both in a special
package deal that includes a free "Masters of the Cigar Box Guitar LIVE" cd.

Thanks to all who voted.  This was cool.  Wanna do it again in a month or two?

The winning design will go on sale for pre-order tomorrow at the Cigar Box
Nation Store.  You can choose from sizes as small as Youth Extra Small to Adult
XXXXL if you pre-order!!!    Please note:  The pre-orders will be taken for four

metal black" shirt?

All,
The voting is live on the frontpage for the Cigar Box Nation t-shirt.  We want
to know which shirt should become the first official Nation swag.  Just go to
http://cigarboxnation.com and vote.  Pre-orders for the winning design start
Friday.

Other quick news bits:
1.  CBG IN FILM -  Watch the world premier of Kevin Lawton's "Drifters" short
film (featuring a cigar box guitar playing vagrant).  The film is also on the
Nation front page...right below the voting box.  Great Job, Kevin!
2.  TRADE FOR ADS - Contact me if you want advertising on the Nation's front
page.  I'm making the large "long" banners available available in trade for
cigar box guitars.
3.  UPCOMING PROJECTS:  "The Cigar Box Guitar Christmas" free download album,
"Masters of the Cigar Box Guitar Vol. 4" cd release (featuring an unreleased
track by Jesco White, "The Outlaw Dancer!"), even more sets of "how to build"
plans to be uploaded...and more more more.

...stay tuned, Nationals.
