I am a LONG-TIME guitarists (over 40 years). I had sort of put my guitars aside for quite a while. I heard my son Jason play at a pub here in Dayton, Ohio and I got re-inspired. I picked up my olde axe and bought a new one or two. By the way, I am fixing to buy another guitar (stratocaster) a la George Bush when I get my economic incentive. I even set up a myspace page at: (http://www.myspace.com/sirrahned) Now I am having a blast. A strange fact is that shortly after I set up my myspace page a guy I played in a band with in 1965 saw my page and he called me. He was our drummer. Now he is a friend on my myspace page. (Awesome) I am now playing as a guitarist in coffeeshops and small venues. I guess that makes me a professional guitarist again. My songs are by ear only and like my favorite guitarist (Chet Atkins) used to say, "all my notes are a matter of guessin".

I listened to Vincent and Washboard Lisa, and this is the first time in quite a while that i heard someone, that doesnt have a record deal, play something that makes me want to practice more and think.. Wow. I need to learn how to play like that! =)
I just stopped by, to see if you were working on anything country.
Thanks Jerry
Wow! Your "pickin" has really improved since you and played together in the early 90's. I'm so glad to hear you and Jason playing. I miss the times we played at your church and also when our families would get together and you and I would play a little. Hopefully I can get back into playing. Looking forward to hearing more.
