Hieghdy-heghdy-heidy hey!
I have been poking my nose in here on occasion, and posting even less for a while now, so I figured I'd say "Howdy".
I am 66 years of age, and for 43 of hat have been The World's Worst Guitar Player. I am also a certified (and perhaps certifiable) Guitar Geek.
I am the father of 3 (1 of whom, despite being essentially a drummer, is a far better picker than I ever was or ever will be; I hate the little shi.......er, I mean, I'm so proud of him!
I am retired; this follows stints at more different jobs than you can shake a rainstck at, most notably being a soundman/stagehand from '77 to '84 (with a brief sojourn as a salesman for the Evil Empire; I was too honest to make it there.....) & for 17.5 years a Teamster. After getting laid off, I went back to finish my BA (only took me 31 years......) & top it with an MA; best thing that led to is I can say that between K-12 subbing, community college classes, and guest lecturer gigs for one of my erstwhile profs, I once taught, in one school year, every level from kindergarten through grad students.
Whar else ya wanna know? I'm a Marxist - of the Groucho School. Married 39 years next month to a red-headed smokeshow who picked me up at my soundboard on my 27th b-day (4-1-83; married Her 8-20-83).
I was a motorcyclist & homebrewer until a quack surgeon* rendered my right leg incompatible with such pass-times - and my beloved camping, canoeing, hiking, backpacking, etc.
*Raed Abbusuuwa, Downers Groove, IL; avoid him like the plague.
Anything else you want to know, hit me with a query, or read what I post.
Thanks for letting me hang.
