    Default Hi from Lotusland,Canada

    Hi there. Just joined this board and thought I would introduce myself.
    I have been playing guitar for 40 years, where did the time go? Never played in a band, just jammed with friends. Built my first fuzz box at 14 and never stopped modding. I play a 81 Squire Strat, 60Th anniversary Fender Strait,
    2000 PRS custom 24 and a 2009 PRS Sunburst 22. Amp is a Epiphone Valve Junior head, modded, thru a Celestion Gold. Various pedals depending on the noise I want to make. I look forward to contributing to the discussions.

    Welcome! I'm in Alberta, are you in B.C then?

    Glad to have yet another Canadian on board!

    I thought Lotusland was somewhere in the Aegean between Troy and Ithaca.

    But that's just me.

    Wink What's in a name

    Vancouver goes by many names. Lotusland because of the weather, Hongcouver because of- you figure it out. A friend once said to me- " I look up and see the mountains and go AHHH, beautiful." He says this stuck in traffic. Ronh

    That reminds me of the time I spent laying in my bed looking up at the sky and thinking to myself, where the hell is my roof!?

    Welcome aboard ronh.

    Beautiful place, Vancouver. Been there twice in the last couple of years.
    Ah, nothing relieves the discomfort of GAS pains like the sound of the UPS truck rumbling down your street. It's like the musician's Beano.
