about time I said hi

[johnny dissident]

Hello one and all,seems I'm one of a growing breed that are returning to the fold.
To cut a long and convoluted story short ,I quit playing about 15 years ago, still, to this day can't explain myself.
think I must have started to take life too seriously, thought I needed a proper job .
Well now I'm back ,and started to make a fool of my self in public again. Gigging really is the best feeling in the world ,apart from love from a good woman.
Had to start putting the tools back together again,sold my 1977 stingray and ricky 4001 a while ago. can't afford to replace like for like yet.
presently play a vintage ( not bad ,not great) and just picked up a warwick streamer off ebay (await delivery with bated breath) and a little laneyRB4 (great in the bedroom),and recently got myself a bull fiddle,even had that out in public,it's great fun dragging the one into a busy pub on open mike night.
so my life has changed, teamed up with an old song writing mucker and I've run into you lot .
look forward to chewing the fat.[b][/b]
PS does anyone have a pre EB stingray gathering dust? thought not.

Welcome Johnny!

Sounds like a fairy tale dude, let us know how the reunion goes. My friend has a vintage guitar; it's got a lovely feel to it. A new set of pups and it could be a very serious instrument imo.

po,


paul.

Welcome back to the fold. I did something similar. Strange how the fit takes you! But, at 50 I started it all again, and I'm well into making sure I'm deaf before I retire...
