Greetings from Mechanicsburg, Pa.
Greetings from beautiful Pennsylvania. I came across The Fret recently, poked around a bit, and thought it was a pretty cool place. So if you don't mind, I'll hop on for the ride.
'Been in love with guitar since I got a plastic Emenee Gene Autry guitar at age 6, 1958. Started getting serious when my folks surprised me with a guitar lesson and a Stella rental guitar on my 10th birthday. I've been hooked ever since. Started to dabble with bass 2 years ago and got a drum kit earlier this year.
I'm married to a wonderful woman who supports my love of music. No kids, 2 dogs, a cat, and all the deer, toads, and forest creatures that come to visit. I make custom straps, ride motorcycles, kayak, fish, and just love living here in Pa.
'Hope to get to meet a bunch of you ~
Bob

Hello Bob,
Sounds like you have some nice surroundings there, good music, and a great wife.
I'm in neighboring Ohio just outside of Cleveland. I use to visit PA regularly (Warminster, New Whales, and Harleysville). I'm actually headed to Ivy PA in about a week or two (somewhere near Philly).
Good to have you join the group.
