I haven't logged in here in ages. My life took a dramatic turn since the passing of my father in March of last year. I gave up music and sold every last stitch of gear I owned mainly because I couldn't find any decent employment and brother's gotta eat. Since then I started a new career as a professional driver and have spent the last 6 months traversing the entire country on 18 wheels. Admittedly, I stopped in Nashville a couple weeks ago and that visit has me wanting to pick a little again. Over the next several months I will re-establish a pile of good music gear and hopefully be able to play a little gig once in a while.
I just wanted to say hello friends, I haven't and will never forget youin's.

Man I'm glad to hear you're OK. Wondered if you fell off the face of the earth or not. I was really disappointed that you quit music. As an old phart I still maintain you had one of the best touches and tone to the bone I've ever heard for as short a time as you were working the steel guitar. Stay in touch and for heaven's sake get back at playing steel guitar, (leave the lead at home). lol

Hey Jim, I still bear the scar from Denny's that faithful night that the waitress stabbed me.
Those were the days. 
Glad your doing well, keep in touch Jim.

Jimbo,it was great seeing you in Dallas! Glad things are finally turning your way. Get yourself a steel and get back to pickin',it is the greatest therapy in the world. If you ever get in the area of Lancaster ,Ohio(about 25 miles south of Columbus)give me a holler,I'm sure we could talk Mike Sigler into a little jammin! Take care buddy and God Bless you!

| Hey Jimbo, steel guitar time yet? You can't stay away! I took a break for 3 years one time. Of course, that was after playing 6 nights a week and being at work the next morning at 6:00am. Add to that 4 girlfriends plus the ex! No wonder the grey showed up. 54 now and feeling every year! Last Rains I had was a great one. Come on! You can't stay away! Take care buddy! |
