I suspect I have several HUNDRED old boxes, maybe more. I have smoked cigars for years, and have kept most of the boxes. Maybe this is the ticket to riches...

My Grandpa once made something he called a “Boom-Bah.”

He took a round, covered cookie tin, added a broom handle to the top and bottom and added a cowbell and a bunch of jingle bells all around the edges of the cookie tin.

You would bounce it on the floor to rattle it, and then use a drumstick to beat the thing on the tin and the cowbell. It made quite the racket, and actually took some skill, much like patting your head and rubbing your stomach at the same time. ;)

We kids would get the honor of “playing” that, while he accompanied us on his Concertina, and Mom would play her Accordion.

I miss those simple days...

And yes, I have ALL of my teeth, have never lived in a trailer and did not marry my First Cousin, LOL!

The commie guitar player from Adios Slave should play that Havana special. Didn’t Hendrix played one with a whammy bar when he did the Star Spangled Banner at Woodstock... maybe it was just the brown acid, but I could have sworn...

Among the notable musicians believed to have played cigar box guitars at some point are Carl Perkins, Jimi Hendrix, George Benson, Ted Nugent, BB King, and Ed King of Lynyrd Skynyrd.

Bo Knows cigar guitars.
