Doyle Guitars - Meet & Greet

We are having a great time today with Cigar Box Guitar make, Mike Doyle here for a Meet & Greet Day at Ironstone.


Mike brought with him a mini amp to plug into a few of the electric cigar boxes to show us they really do sound great! Amazing what those old cigar boxes can do when put into the right hands!

We were also invaded by a great group of Clampers. Here for a grand tour of Ironstone with our #1 tour guide Conrad.  They discovered Mike and had to have a group shot taken!


You have a several hours left to stop by, say hello to Mike and hear how great a cigar box guitar can sound. Several of the guitars are available for purchase, starting around $475.


I love the little tin Elvis Uke that Mike has put together as a proto type.  He is testing this one out to see if there might be a following... we think YES!

Signing out for now, The Heritage Museum

Art in Calaveras County

Sad to see the 15th Annual Spring Obsession Art Show come down this week. It has always been one of my favorite exhibits with some outstanding artists and art work.

But, don't fret!  This summer is jam packed with plenty of art of all mediums to keep our avid art fans busy up here in the Gold Country.

Just in for a visit today was Quyle Kilns. I was excited about the great schedule of events they have lined up for this summer!  Why not make this summer your clay experience year and learn how to work a wheel with clay or learn how to create a clay sculpture? Just a couple of classes lined up feature Jim Bass and Marlene Bradford. Or, just stop into their gallery up Hwy 4, just above Murphys to see the great works of art on display and for sale. You can find the link to their website below on our "favorite Links" section below.  Don't miss out on any of the fun!
