About ChickenboneJohn
I started playing the blues a few years back in my mid 40s...I've played guitar (badly) since my teens, and was in a couple of bands at college, but never really learned to play properly. I suppose in the way of a mid-life crisis I picked up up the guitar, started listening to some people I'd heard of but never really listened to..and that started to shape my playing.
I went out and bought the boxed set of Robert Johnson recordings..and caught up with all those people I'd heard of but never REALLY listened to...
...people like John Lee Hooker, Lightnin' Hopkins, JB Lenoir, Muddy Waters, Howlin Wolf...
...and also caught up with some more contemporary stuff..Ry Cooder of course, RL Burnside, Catfish Keith, Watermelon Slim,Ian Seigal to name but a few.
So now, CIGAR BOX GUITARS are taking up a lot of my time..making them, selling them, playing them, promoting the UK cigar box guitar scene.
