 Songs Inside The Box documents a unique phenomenon that occurred when the primitive aspects of cigar box guitar making were combined with the use of modern technology like the Internet. Events like the Cigar Box Guitar Extravaganza, at which performances in the documentary were recorded, came about because cigar box guitar enthusiasts came together through the Internet. Here are some links connecting the Cigar Box Guitar Revolution:
CigarBoxNation.com
Following the initial release of Songs Inside The Box, Shane Speal, the self-proclaimed King of the Cigar Box Guitar, declared, "The Cigar Box Guitar Revolution has been won. We are now the CIGAR BOX NATION" and he created a social networking community at CigarBoxNation.com. This is a growing community connecting people from the original Cigar Box Guitar Forum as well as new members.
