Default New old guy here!
Hi everyone,

I just joined this forum today. I belong to a couple others as well but you can never have enough guitar talk can you? Here is a little bit about me:
  • 61 years old and retired
  • Love country music especially Chet Atkins
  • Just got a new Gretsch G5125 for Father's Day and I'm lovin' it
  • Also have a Carlo Robelli ES500, Ibanez AFS75T Artcore, Fender Telecaster w/Bigsby, Carvin DC127T, Indiana Stratocaster clone, and a Dean Tradition D24 Dreadnaught acoustic with soundhole single coil
  • I played professionally in and around Chicago (Country, Blues, and Rockabilly) for 30+ years

Welcome, Bear! That's right.... you can never get enough of guitar gear! Are you still playing around Chicago?

No offense to the new guy, but the beauty pageant reception wins out over the nudist wedding. Especially after reading the reference to the "best man."

A buddy of mine had a Vegas stripper do her business to a song his band played behind her..... I'm sure it was quite a view. Apparently, she wasn't all that
