Hello all

[Mr Grumpy]

Hi - n00b here, middle aged born again guitarist (42) from Warrington England. Plugging away but struggling a bit, need a good helpful forum. Found this via dolphinstreet (EXCELLENT site!).

Got a Vox AD30 amp etc as per signature, love the amp and my almost unique Gordon Smith guitar (as far as I am aware only 2 ever made, and mine is the first, certified as such by Gordon Smith). I'll get round to a piccy post soon enough I expect. If you google 'Gordon Smith Guitars' and look in the GS range under GS1.5-40, the picture you see is actually my guitar before I collected it. Pity I can't do it justice-hope this site will help. So thats me - Hello!

Has anyone told you of our initiation ritual where you have to surrender one piece of gear to each Moderator to gain entry?

Just kidding, just kidding.

(I thought it was a good idea. I don't know why it never works.... )

Welcome aboard Mr. Grumpy!

Oh ya. I had completely forgotten about that.

Welcome and hallelujah that you have found the strength and glory of Guitar.

Mr G,

I just signed up recently and should get caught up on some of the other new members. Welcome aboard, it seems like a great place to be.

Okay, now for why I really posted - I read above about that perk you Moderators get - where do I sign up????

Welcome Grump, glad you could join us.

Welcome, that sounds like a great guitar!

As for the tribute to the moderators, I always wondered why Tone had so many d@mned cowbells.

Welcome to TheFret, Mr. Grumpy! You'll have to fill us in on the origin of that nickname. Hoping you don't have some weird 7 Dwarves fetish thing happenin'!
