Thanks for the effort and organization to put this together and keep it...organized...best to you in that respect.
I was a barely-competent rhythm guitar player in a garage band full of loadies 1964-1969. Gave that up when I moved to San Diego and only picked up the guitar occasionally when I was looking to 'impress' a lady friend. Hey-it worked as planned...
I have been hanging around the San Diego music scene and the Tropical Rock/TropRock/DockRock/IslandRock/PermanentVacation music genre for a decade. Ok, ok, Jimmy Buffett/ParrotHead music-and decided to jump back in.
Had Carpal Tunnel release surgery in Spring 2010-very happy with the results-and bought a Taylor 210e to start the re-entry process. After a year, I found that the dred was a little too big to get my arm around, got an OM Eastman, AC412ce-which is a very nice guitar... and then, last fall, got a GSMini.
The GSMini will travel with me and go on the sailboat, the Eastman has been going with me to open mic events and other occasions where I can start working my way up.
This is my retirement hobby/project. I don't really need to make money makin' music, but I do need connection with others.
Song: 'Old Man Tom' by Jim Morris (Southern Florida)
He said "It's the trip not the destination, boy, I know because I've been,
Learn to play that guitar, son, you'll always have a friend"
