    I ran onto this site and really like it , there seems to be something for everyone.
    I have been playing guitar off and on for 40 years , played in several bands in Ohio before moving to Texas. Quit playing out for a few raised a family and stayed at home. Seen SRV and decided to get into the blues have been goin that way for several years now. Most fun gig I ever played was in Amsterdam with the Pat Savage Band , and the JHB . Got my 15 of fame.
    Equipment wise I have a 1970,s US Strat. 1962 EPI Granada , 1967 Fender Coronado II . A Breedlove acoustic and an Art and Lutherie Acoustic

    Amplifiers 1990 Tweed 100 watt Hybrid Tubeworks , One of the best kept secrets of all time. Tubeworks have sold out
    Mesa Boogie Duel Rectifier Maverick ...so so too bright I am not a Boogie fan.

    Yes or in my case it was Big Boss Man the wife LOL . Every year we go to the Navasota Blues festival it is a celebration of Brazos county blues history . Mance Lipscomb was their most famous player. When I first moved to Texas there was this old guy who used to live in a shotgun shack in Washington Texas and play acoustic blues . I was lucky enough to have met him befor he passed he was Abraham Sweed a very poor Texas bluesman . Abraham Sweed never did well in the U S but did OK in Europe , But boy the stories he could tell about the Bluesman from all over the world and the battle between acoustic and electric blues . They have paintings of him at the festival and I think it is time I spend the cash and buy one . These folks are part of American music history more so then the SRV's.

    VSTAR, here's a formal welcome to you. It's good to hear you've taken a liking to this place and I would say your view is right on target.

    There are a few of us in Ohio and a good number in Texas that frequent the board.

    Look forward to more conversation - Enjoy!!!

    That's right! The poor ol' bluesmen & hill-country ol' timey music players are the true soul of all this. Time to break out:

    The Anthology of American Folk Music.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antholo...can_Folk_Music

    Europe has always treated our bluesers & jazzers better than the US has.

    Do you remember any of Sweed's tales? I'm all ears.

    Thanks for joining us here!
