Well, I have asked a few questions here, and even corresponded with a few of ya, so it's time to introduce myself:
Old dude, pretty much starting playing from scratch, dreaming of someday playing (and singing?) "Stormy Monday" decently...!
West of Boston is home, but I am a metric import!
Musical history: no actual playing, I was just fortunate to have a schoolmate who introduced me to blues and rock, and was able to see a bunch of blues guys live, mostly in Montreux, Switzerland -- Albert King still stands so tall in my memory! Later in the U.S. I managed to catch some jazz greats in Boston clubs --anybody remember Jonathan Swift...now an upscale clothing shop... sad! Actually then I was mixing jazz with dancing and spent a bunch of time in dance clubs, some fun to be had... cool chicks, drinking, mixing with odd characters..! Adept female dancers can be excellent rhythm teachers... hmm
Well, still shopping for equipment, but I really s*ck at buying anything, even though I need to treat myself as I am five years out of working on a major disease, a long road...
In that spirit, I almost bought an Ibanez Artcore, but am attracted to the warmth of P90s
Just got a Vox Pathfinder -- in UPS truck, somewhere...
Oh yeah, I brew beer (stout!), have friends in vintage motorcyle racing, and treasure my beloved VFR...!
Carry on!
