Topic: Cigar box guitar (6 replies, posted in Other string instruments)
New project started today I found a cheap cigar box in an antique shop today so I thought it time I stretched my carpentry skills
Next I need to find a suitable piece of hard wood for the neck . This will be three string and fret less and I'll probably wind my own pickup as well .I think it should be made as cheap as possible it all adds to the style and appeal of an instrument like this.

Ageism by Graham Windle
I feel there's a lot of Ageism in the UK so I wrote this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VP3viqi1THg
Em
The daylight comes
G
The night is over
D
another day begins
Em G
the morning sun sneaks through the window
D A
To wake me up again
Em
I make the coffee
G
Make the breakfast
D A
Feed the cat and then
Em G
sit and watch the world revolving
D A
tomorrow will be the same
Chorus
G A
and I wonder what will happen now
Em
what will time unfold
G A
and I wonder what will happen now
Em
Am I just growing old
The post man knocks
he brings a letter
another bill to pay
got no time for conversation
he just walks away
cant he see that I'm a person
though I'm old and grey
wouldn't cost or take a moment
to ask if I'm ok
Chorus
G A
and I wonder what will happen now
Em
what will time unfold
G A
and I wonder what will happen now
Em
Am I just growing old
Stumble back
turn on the TV
listen to the news
cant believe what is out there
just gives me the blues
cant be bothered change the channel
got to crack a smile
cant believe how much they're paying
to employ Jeremy Kyle
Chorus
G A
and I wonder what will happen now
Em
what will time unfold
G A
and I wonder what will happen now
Em
Am I just growing old
G A
and I wonder what will come to pass
Em
and will my dreams come true
G A
one thing I know that is for sure
Em
Old age will come to you .
