Hello from Baton Rouge, LA (Go Tigers)
« on: December 15, 2011, 12:12:22 PM »
Hi,

Just really started playing guitar for about a year now.  Have been taken lessons since then a good teacher here in Baton Rouge.  Tried to start about 9 years ago but it didn't last since I was still working.  Now that I am retired all I do is play golf, play the guitar and baby sit my grandchildren.

Great to have you!  Make yourself at home!  A big hi from KC, MO!

Hi Gdeleo,

I used to live in Baton Rouge in the late '70s to mid '80s. Is Pinetta's Restaurant still there? How about Coffee Call and Pancho's Mexican Buffet?

HLH,

I know for sure Pinetta's and Coffee Call are still here but I am not sure about Pancho's.

Welcome!  I've used my finely tuned skills of deduction to determine you're a LSU fan.  Any predictions for the title game?  I have a feeling it won't be a 9-6 game this time around.

Before I extend a "hello", I'd like first like to say I firmly believe Oklahoma State should be playing in the title game.

I totally agree with you DMBfan41 on Olkahoma State.  We beat AL already, and would have like to have seen us play OK.

I really don't have any predictions on the game since the last game was so close and it had to be played in overtime.  All I can say is that I hope LSU pulls it out for the second time and I won't be betting any money on this one!!!
