    Thanks a lot everyone you guys are fabulous
    Oh, and a big thanks to Rocket & wingsdad, I'm going to go read it right now! I think you two have me sold on a Ricky

    Radioboy: I've had a play of one, but the necks are EVEN bigger than a regular gibson neck, I agree they are beautiful, but I just wouldn't be able to play it sadly - a friend of mine owns one and I've drooled over it many times

    Tara,

    Welcome to the forum. As you have already found out, there are a lot of good folks here. Once you get situated in Canada, I am on the other side of Lake Erie (about a 5 hour drive). I've been taking trips up there this year, but that appears to be winding down. I love the area (I go to Georgetown right outside of Toronto.

    The pic of gear is impressive and I must say you brought out the gift for gab with Rocket.

    Anyway, welcome and enjoy.

    Sorry for the long winded welcome - it's that time of the year :

    Thanks for the warm welcomes I had a much better day today, still no time to sneak off to the guitar store though - I'll have to do it over the weekend!

    Gil - not long winded at all, I'll help & share everything I know, the trick will be getting me to shut up ..and I'll definitely be sharing some recordings just as soon as I find the time to get my music PC up and running again

    Hope you all have a great weekend!

    Sorry I'm late guys. I've been in the studio and haven't been able to check in for a while.

    Welcome aboard araT! Don't know how I missed your original post/intro

    Anyway...

    On your roadtrip from T.O. (aka Toronto, aka the Centre of the Universe) to jam with Robert in Alberta, you will have to drive past my place, so maybe you could pick me up on your way I'll buy the beer.

    Look forward to chatting with ya on theFret.

    Oh, if the T.O. thing doesn't work out, have a serious look West for your line of work - Vancouver would be a natural second choice, but there's lots of indie stuff going on in Saskatchewan and Alberta.

    ET355: Thanks, glad you enjoyed em!

    t_ross33: You're on, we'll form an impromptu TheFret Canadian Jam session, hehehe, thanks for the advice on the job front, I really appreciate is as I'm really not sure where my best chances are - I'm sort of jumping in feet first & seeing what'll happen!

    On a side note I heard from the Canadian Consulate today, hopefully I'll be there by July 2010
