Richard, Welcome to the Forum! I almost missed your post over here. I admire your resiliency. Sounds like you've hooked up with some good guys in the world of steel guitar.
You mentioned losing your leg on 9/11/01. Important date. If you don't mind my asking, any connection there? |

Thank you for your service to our country Richard. I know a little bit about agent orange. I have a family member who is suffering from the exposure he received while in Viet Nam.
Wishing you speedy progress with your new guitar and set-up.[This message was edited by Jerry Overstreet on 06 February 2006 at 08:05 PM.] |

Welcome, and every good wish. One of my very few closest friends died from AO some years ago.
I know you appreciate hallowed ground, and for steel, this is close.
Glad to have you with us! |

God bless you Richard. Your refusal to allow your physical limitations to discourage your interest in playing is an inspiration to us all. It places our lesser concerns in perspective.
