New song “Mic Ball” with Harmonica

surfing the 'Net for the blues
How many instruments have you built so far?
Not nearly as many as some. But more than some others.
What do you find most interesting about cigar box guitars? (If you do not enter something meaningful here (at least one sentence long), your membership may be rejected as a spam/bot fake account).
