YouTube Channel Update

[@xsjetworf]

I found your fathers video on making necks and hit subscribe so I could learn more only to find this video. Crazy thing about youtube is that its kinda forever. Im still going to go through the vids he posted to learn what I can, he seemed like someone that would've been nice to talk to, im glad I found his channel.

[@TheProducer77051]

He is definitely, and will always be missed.

[@BurrellGuitars]

I appreciate it. -Eric

[@troycastille714]

I’m so sorry for your loss. Your dad and I were best friends in high school and lost touch with one another when he joined the military. I wish we could have reconnected. I’m praying for you and your family.

[@BurrellGuitars]

Thanks Troy. Sadly, life takes unexpected turns sometimes. -Eric

[@DavidAndersoniiVI]

I knew something was wrong when there wasn't any new videos. I didn't know he passed away. I'll miss him, and am truly sad. Thanks for informing us about what happened. God bless all your endeavors young man. Your dad was a hero in many ways.

[@BurrellGuitars]

Mr. Spader! I remember my Dad telling me you were one of the people that commented on many of his videos. Thanks for your support! -Eric

[@BurrellGuitars]

Mr. Spader, is there an email I can contact you at? -Eric

[@Grumpy_CBG]

Eric, my sincere condolences to you and your family. Your dad's videos touched many people, I'm one , Moses will be sadly missed, RIP Moses 💚🇦🇺👍👍

[@charlesmccoy6078]

I've personally been doing woodworking for about 5 years now and always looking for another interesting project. I started watching these cigar box guitar videos last year and noticed that people all over the world are doing these type of builds. Today I found your father's videos and was very impressed with his methods. When I watched this video, it broke my old heart, because I'm also 57 years old and these hobbies are also my retirement passion. Your message really sent the tears and I hope that you will someday find your own interests in a hobby like this. Your father seems like he was an amazing person. Good luck young man and I hope that whatever you decide to be your life's path is successful and rewarding.

[@nikkikeller6673]

Thank you Moses for all the inspiration and knowledge .

[@user-wg3pd9kb3b]

Sorry for your loss. The Cigar box music world will truly miss him.

[@PuckettCigarBoxGuitar]

Moses Moses!! What an awesomely inspirational person. Heaven is definitely rejoicing. I certainly look forward to shaking his hand someday in the great beyond!! Sorry for your loss Eric and thank you for the update! Blessings to you and your family. FYI: It’s never too late to start playing an instrument (hint hint) never know what the future may hold 😃

[@BurrellGuitars]

Mr. Pucket! Thank you for the comment. It's satisfying to hear such kind words. Yes, I may pick up the guitar in the future. -Eric

[@richardwillis6485]

Eric, I’m so sorry. I lost my Dad 9 years ago to pancreatic cancer. Unlike your Dad, my father went from Diagnosis to death in 6 weeks, though he was older, 85. Your Dad was a great guy, and you seem like a fine young man, your Dad did well raising you. You and your family will be in my prayers

[@BurrellGuitars]

Thank you greatly. -Eric

So sorry for your loss. My sincerest and deepest condolences. Prayers to the family. 🙏

[@steveosullivan6861]

Eric, I just saw your father’s neck video, and I very much liked it, and your dad’s persona and delivery. I am so sorry for your family’s loss. Son, I wish you and your family all the best in the future. 🫡✌🏻👍🏻❤️

[@douglasnoren3348]

So sorry to hear this news….your dad seemed like an awesome individual. Not only was he passionate about making CBG’s but he was a talented song writer as well. Eric, I’d like to thank you for this video, I think your dad must have extremely proud of you as well.

[@BurrellGuitars]

Yes, I'm sure he was. He maintained a high standard. -Eric

[@jonfeeney5613]

I just saw this video and I am so saddened by this news. Moses’ videos inspired me to build and play the cigar box guitar. Never had the privilege of meeting him but he responded to a comment (as politely and beautifully as one would expect) one time and it made my day. My deepest sympathies to the Moses’ family and friends.

[@brucejones8779]

So sorry to hear the news of your Father's passing, I always found his videos inspirational and informative. God bless him.

[@BurrellGuitars]

Thank you. -Eric

Oh Man! So sorry for you and your families loss, please accept my deepest condolences. Moses will be sadly missed in the Cigar box Guitar community.

[@JH-ii5dz]

My deep condolences to you, Eric, and your family. Mr. Burrell's videos have a special heartfelt spark that caught my attention as something unique. I looked forward to each. They helped me on my own musical and life journey. Your father was a good teacher and advocate for the CBG passion. I will remember his kind and sincere instruction. Thank you, Moses.

[@BurrellGuitars]

Thank you for the kind words. -Eric

[@stevesstrings5243]

Eric, please accept my most sincere condolences for your loss! I too lost my father to cancer. I have enjoyed my interactions with your father through his KZbin channel. I shared with him, not only an interest in CBGs, but I also spent a career in the Army. I hope you and your family can still find joy in this holiday season with fond memories of your father. Take care!

[@BurrellGuitars]

Steve! I remember him telling me about you as well. Thank you for reaching out. -Eric

[@michaelwhalen7991]

Moses would be very proud of your courage, and courageousness in giving us all the sad news of your father's passing. Its strange how someone I never met could be so important in so many lives. His mannmannerisms and grace are surely evident in you Eric. Your Dad spread a lot of love through his video lessons and weekly concerts, and through them he will live on with his subscribers. The good ones always leave us far too quickly, and require our strength to carry on in this crazy world. You ,Eric, will be in my prayers, as well as your family. And your father will have a special place in my memory. I found his channel too late, but loved all his spirit and joy that he exuded. I miss you more than you can imagine Moses...God bless you my friend. Till we meet in that heavenly band, and you can teach me again, I remain your sad but grateful student. Mike from Boston.

[@BurrellGuitars]

I greatly appreciate the kind and thoughtful words! My mother and I wish you happy holidays. Eric

[@joescianna8745]

You are a very well spoken young man, Eric. Your father would be very proud of you.

Sincere condolences to you and your family. I just found your page and am impressed with his skills and suggestions. I can tell he was truly loved and cherished by his online following.

[@MrPovey75]

I’m so sorry to hear that my thoughts are with you and your family. Such a great guy🙏

[@paulcharboneau6959]

[@bigdumbdad2226]

I didn't want this news but I knew something was going on. I wish I would have found his channel much sooner but I have watched every video. He was an amazing man and I know that he will be deeply missed. Thank you for the wonderful words about him, I didn't know him personally but I did feel connected to him and as a Army vet myself it is cool to have that connection with him as well. I have looked into the CBG hobby as a way to keep my mind occupied and my hands busy, I learned a lot from your dad and I will keep watching his videos when I need help figuring something out. I wish there was more I could say or do in this situation, I am so sorry for your loss.

[@BurrellGuitars]

Thank you for your concern. Building cigar boxes was his way of keeping busy to avoid boredom and bad thoughts. I hope that whatever hobby you choose to pursue will do the same for you. -Eric

[@piercedarrow57]

Eric, Thank You SO much for this wonderful Eulogy for your Father. Sincere Condolences to YOU and your Family. I absolutely Loved seeing Moses every Friday for his 'One Song Friday Concerts'...such Great Songs - Both Lyrics AND Music. He Inspired me to play, I learned ALOT from him, Enjoyed his Videos Immensely ... and he was such a Kind and Sincere Soul. Wonderful Person and I feel so Honoured to have known him On-line. Thank You SO much for sharing his life and his courageous battle...I have even MORE respect for him now. I truly HOPE you keep his Channel and His Music active as I STILL have so much to learn from Him and His Music. And I'll Always enjoy coming back to hear him play. He will be missed...Rest in Peace Moses and THANKS for bringing Happiness into the Hearts of Cigar Box Players the World over... Take Care Eric and please pass on thoughts and Prayers to your Family....

[@ericshaffer9823]

Eric, what a fine tribute to your father in this video. I discovered this channel recently, and was struck by his craftsmanship, creativity and passion for building and playing the amazing songs he wrote. I will miss him, as will so many he touched, but I am grateful to have saved his videos (for tips, lessons and songs). Perhaps it might be possible to leave this content available for others to see and benefit from? And consider keeping at least one of those guitars- you never know when you might want to pick it up.... It is fitting that you have your own interests and that you discover and follow your passions . I'm sure that your Dad would want nothing less for you. My deepest sympathy, and may you have comfort in happy memories.

[@BurrellGuitars]

Will keep the channel up. Thanks for the kind words! -Eric

I have been out of town and returned to see this and am devastated. Your father was a wonderful and talented man and I truly enjoyed each and every video and song he shared with us here on his channel. The CBG community may have physically lost your father but his spirit lives on in us all whenever we use one of his building or playing tips and listen to the songs he wrote and performed. I wish peace and blessings to your family and know that Heaven sounds a little bit brighter with Moses playing up there now.
