    Default First, hello

    Hello. My name is Syo. I stumbled upon this forum while seeking information
    about Hagstrom Vikings and discovered I liked the energy emanating from your collective spaces.

    I have been playing bad guitar (and crumhorn, fiddle, flutes, soft synths, etc.) off and on for over 20 years. I seem to make much faster progress collecting gear than improving my playing, but I seriously enjoy doing both. Mostly banging on Fenders with a few other exceptions.

    Music-wise into Richard Thompson, Nick Cave, Radiohead, The Who, Dungen, The Pogues, Jerry Donahue etc, etc...
    I am happy to have crossed your paths. Thanks for making some space for me.

    Hello and thanks TOT.
    A crumhorn is a curved medieval capped reed instrument that sounds a cross between a bagpipe and a fart. At least it does when I play it...

    Apparently, I don't need a crumhorn then.



    Youch!

    You stick it where exactly to get that bagpipe/fart sound?!?

    Welcome Syo, you seem to have figured this place out pretty accurately. I can certainly relate to your statement above.

    That crumhorn certainly looks painful.

    Welcome Syo! Glad to see you.

    Hey, is Yngwie Malmsteen still a god in Japan? He was incredibly popular there in the past at least.

    Thanks for the welcome Robert.
    Well it's not exactly Yngwie mania nowadays but you can definitely see his influence with some of the Japanese metal bands.

    Where you at in Japan?

    I know a bunch of people in and around Tokyo as a result of friends living there, and me working for a Japanese company. I've visited Kyoto and Hiroshima too, but I do love Tokyo though.

    BTW, Syo, I am interested in your avatar. It reminds me of a Japanese children's story/fable we read to our kids, called "The Stonecutter". Could you tell me about it?
