Some members use cartoons, sketches, or photographs of irrelevant subjects as their avatars. 
I like to see who I'm communicating with. Don't be afraid to show your face. We're not all handsome and good-looking. How can I recognise you if I ever see you when your avatar is a cartoon ? 
I've even seen members use photographs of other people as their avatar.  |

I long ago suggested that each avatar include just a short thumbnail sketch of how long the individual has been playing steel guitar, amateur or prof.
It fell on deaf ears............yet it makes good sense to me. Like your suggestion, I much prefer to know WHO I'm conversing with and/or what level of actual expertise they are dispensing to the world.
Why not share with us your own position? You wouldn't got to a steel jam with a sack over your head, or would you? |

I cant figure out how to resize this to make it my avatar, but here I am at the Western Kountry Klub. This isnt my psg, just posing for photo. Yes I know I'm holding the bar in the wrong hand and my feet arent on the pedals, thats why I'm starting lessons today!

...and if you decide to post an avatar using a photo of yourself, please make sure it's a recent one and not one from 25 yrs. ago
I'll stick mine back up here for a bit, like I really look now, warts and all.

I'm several notches below "stupid" when it comes to a computer. I still use the "hunt-and-peck, using one finger" typing method. I don't know how to post a photo of my steel, much less myself. But if I did know how, I'd rather post a photo of my steel. And in a side-by-side comparison, you would agree.

Bo once bowled a 300 overhand.
He lives vicariously through himself.
His Avatar uses a picture of him for an Avatar.
Stay thirsty my friend.

As my avatar I've long used a painting by the renowned live concert artist Scramble Campbell of a festival gig of me playing with Vassar Clements band. Great memories that make me smile everytime I see it. I really miss Vassar. I kinda still look like that if it's important.

Here's the full-size version of my avatar...the day I brought home my guitar, nearly 2 years ago now. Needless to say, it's no longer sitting in the living room!
