In this episode, I had a chance to sit down with Mark "The Harp" LeClair. Mark is a Cigar Box Guitar builder and performer. He is known for playing his cigar box guitars with his harmonicas and has an ability to tell stories with musical accompaniment on the fly. Here, you will learn how Boys Life Magazine and his natural curiousity led him to building his first cigar box guitar and then how his time in the U.S. Army found him carrying a harmonica into the field to pass the time. Mark is a lot of fun to watch perform and it was equally as fun to learn as much as I did from our conversation.

In this interview, I sit down with Alice and Bill Saurber; the husband and wife musical duo "Pallin With Al". Alice plays a Tenor Ukulele and Bill plays a Ukulele Bass (UBass) and together they are very talented performing artists who hail from the Greater Cincinnati area. We had a chance to sit down in Gadsden, Alabama where they performed on-stage at the Mary G Hardin Center for Cultural Arts at the opening of their permanent Cigar Box Guitar Display and for some 20,000 people gathered for a Car Show on the 1st weekend in June.
