Hi everybody my name is Chris I’m 38 and I come from a small town called Ioannina in Greece.
I enjoy every kind of good music but blues gives me the shivers and love everything that has to do with guitars.
I found out about this place from my good friend elavd (thanks Elias) and I enjoyed the good vibe I took while reading your discussions, so here I am.

I have a cane made from hard wood. Will that do Voodoo?

My hearing aid puts out squeels and my pacemaker will produce a heavy shock when needed. Kind of a built in tasser. Anyways ... we will get them one way or the other.

By the way ... what where we saying and who are we getting????

Hi Chris. It's nice to see the Greek wing growing.

By the way, how do you pronounce Demeter


1) Duh meter (like duh meter is broken and ate my quarter)
2) dimiter (to rhyme with limiter)

??

thanksfor the very warm welcome everybody...
Sorry I didn’t have the chance to post answers immediately…
Anyway it’s never too late so

tot_Ou_tard, Demeter in Greek is pronounced Dimitris (Dee mee trees)

sunvalleylaw it’s winter here in Greece also but a Greek winter means temperatures from -15 C in the north to +20 C in Crete for example. But no snow yet for your case….

Lev things are even worst here in Greece with the prices in comparison with other European countries so we sure have a lot to discuss

Hogfullofblues, that’s a great nickname man and I will post some pics of the Huber real soon

thanks again

Really? I always thought of Dimitris as a man's name & Demeter was a goddess.

That it is.

That it's right ;) Dimitris is a male name and Demeter or better Dimitra (Dee mee tra) is the female.
