Hello fellow ax-slingers. Just found this forum yesterday, and I am glad I did. A bit about myself... I am 36, originally from NY, NY, lived a long time in NJ, and have resided in Tampa, FL for the past 15 years. I am a graphic designer by profession. I've played guitar for a little over seven years, and will do so as often as I can for the rest of my life. In no specific order, some of my favorite guitar players are Django Reinhardt, Marc Ribot, Bill Frisell, Jimi, Sonny Sharrock, Vishwa Mohan Bhatt, Duane Allman, John McLaughlin, Pete Cosey, Robert Quine, and Leo Nocentelli. Looking forward to discussing music with all of you.

Welcome! DVM, you mention Roland? Now I am really curious. My reference to Roland is the Headless Thompson Gunner, from Zevon fame. My law school classmates used to call me Stevie the Headless Thompson Gunner, but that is another story.

Anyway, welcome R_O_G! You found a nice place!

PS: I planned on having my 1000th post be a welcome! And what do you know!

Roland of Gilead, the Gunslinger from the Steven King Dark Tower series.
 
thanks to all. this site looks like it will be a lot of fun for me. i have several friends that play, but there are never too many people to talk about guitar with.

by the way, duhvoodooman, i am a fellow valvetronix user [though mine is the 15VT]. i LOVE that amp. i have a bunhc of pedals and an old [2nd gen] digitech multi-effects unit, but to be honest, since i got that amp a few yrs ago, the only pedal i really use anymore is my dan-o-wah [with octave divider]. awesome to meet another ribot fan and valvetronix user! btw, speaking of vox amps, i knew i'd leave someone out of my list when i wrote that intro. i didn't realize it would be jonny greenwood [radiohead]. i could smack myself for that one. then again, i have been listening to a lot of jazz lately so there you go.
 
Yes, Roland

Excellent call voodooman, Roland of Gilead, aka The Gunslinger, indeed. I am almost as obsessed with those books as I am with Marc Ribot.

Do any of you remember POG?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pogs

We once took our kids to Disneyland & unbeknowst to us Disneyland was having a "Pog Wild" day. There were freakin' signs up everywhere. When we bought our tickets we were asked if we had come because of Pog Wild, which totally cracked us up.

We had big fun with that all day.

"Do you want to go on Space Mountain?"

"Naaw, let's go trade some Pogs". :D
 
Pogs

oh i remember, though thankfully too old to have participated in "collecting" them. though i spent many summers as a camp counselor and all those kids wanted to do was trade pogs. losers.
