Cigar Box Guitar...

Worked up an old Son House tune on my cigar box guitar this evening. I made this guitar from the cigar box I had left from the stoogies I gave out when Mary was born. It's a Travis Club, made in San Antone. I've put it's picture here before. I spent some time working it up into a kind of semi reliable low-fi instrument this past weekend. 
The Son House tune, "Death Letter" is maybe my favorite blues songs. Terrible subject matter. Scary on a lot of levels. Hope it never happens to me. 
Equipment used was a Fender Champ II and a tube screamer.
