    Default Howdy from Waco, Texas

    A friend of mine from the Washburn forum suggested I check y'all out. So I've been lurking for a few days and reading some threads, and it seems like y'all have a great group of people here. Against all the advice from the good folks on this forum, I even ran a search and discovered how Warren likes to cook his pancakes! Well that sold me on the place.

    Years ago when I was in college I had a little nylon string guitar. After I married my first wife, she decided I was spending too much time playing guitar and sold it in a garage sale for $20.00. Of course ultimately I ended up loosing the wife, but not in time to save my guitar. So about two years ago I told that story to my lovely child bride, and she decided to get me a guitar for my birthday. I've been playing for a little over a year and half now, and my child bride even got into it. She's been playing for about a year. We've fallen in love with these things and now have eight guitars between the two of us. There's nothing we enjoy more at the end of the day then having our own little Shiner family jam!

    Anyway, if y'all have any questions, please feel free to fire away. I'm looking forward to getting to know y'all, and learning a little music on the way.

    Wow, thanks for the warm welcome everyone!

    It's a small world Spudman. I love our central Texas winters, but we sure do pay for it when it hits 110 in the summer!

    Hey GG, it's good to see ya', um . . . read ya'. The only reason neked tractor dude hasn't made an appearance is because I haven't figured out how stick a picture in a post yet. Give me time girl, give me time.

    Shiner ole buddy, I've been watching for your post and it's good to see you finally arrived. A lot of good people here and some good subjects (they have flame-outs, but us Washburn folks never experienced that (heh heh).

    GG I forgot about the pictures and I strongly recommend that the rest of you don't encourage Shiner to start posting those things.

    I'll let the others do the welcoming since I've known you far longer that I had hoped - just kidding.

    We will have to encourage a few more from Washburn to pay a visit and maybe set up shop.

    Later my friend.

    Hey Strum, thanks for inviting me over. It's a really nice place y'all have here. I plan on digging through the old threads in the Mod/Repair section as well as the Acoustic section to see what I can learn.

    Kiteman, whereabouts in Texas are you?

    Sunvalleylaw, thanks for the welcome brother. My lovely child bride and I are both lawyers as well. She works for the good guys, and I . . . well, I generally work for the not-so-good guys.

    Ha, Ha! That can be a matter of perspective. I'd be curious about which good or bad guys you and your bride work for. Do tell!
