Hey Dave
I'm a fellow guitar player, piano player and harmonica player myself. Haven't gotten around to the mandolin yet though. Oh, yeah, the bass too. What kind of gitar you got there? I haven't written a song about MDing yet, but its a possibility.

1967 for 500.00 . Gotta me worth a bunch now. I gotta 98 Les Paul, but when I'm on stage I usually use my strat. Charvel(Jackson) I like also. As for acoustics, I have a D-16 GT Martin, but I don't use it all that much. I have a variety of other ones, 12 string Yamaha, which I love. I don't have any CDs of music. Couple of live video from shows.

That '37's gotta sounds sweet. I no longer play with my band. I left in June. We were starting to get shows every weekend and I could do it no longer. (When am I gonna metal detect?)

So I've been taking a break from playing. (Maybe a little burnout syndrome). I'll get back to it soon.

Here's a halloween one;

I started when I was 16. 47 now. I been at it consistently for the last 14 years. Before that, I joined the Navy at 17, made it a career, but didn't do any playing until I was near the end. (wasted a lot of time).

You've been at it for a while. You've got that David Crosby look. I went to your page briefly before the wife called me out to put up Christmas decorations. I'll go back in a little.

Hey Dave, just thought I'd say hi...saw your band at Angie's many years ago, and you may have played on the other side of hwy 52 North at the Handle Bar. It's right across from me in Durango. I try to play...trying to get a handle on the only bar cord I know...havnt gotten it clear yet. Surprised to here your done till spring...got a few W A R M days ahead. Hope it melts the ground. I plan on ..maybe Eagle Point. I have a dirt crawl space here that I might do as well. Good tunes, Good hunting those dirt cellars.... Just remembered my parents house has a dirt basement.
