[VIDEO] Gitty Gang Show Episode #115

It's the Gitty Gang Show episode #115. This episode includes the triumphant return of Gitty Gangster Dan and the inaugural edition of Hobo Junction, where Ben and Dan perform everyone's favorite train songs.

Every week, the Gang is joined by Gitty Gangsters from the Cigar Box Nation pages on  Facebook and Youtube to celebrate the joys of building and playing handmade musical instruments, especially cigar box guitars.

This week's episode was a real humdinger!

There were several live musical performances on the Gitty stage and also video performances submitted by the Gitty Gangsters in the audience. 

Plus, there was talk about new products and how-to's, Watt Corner, and much more. See for yourself, below!
