you sure have some nice tone machines. I pretty much leave my gear alone.
so I should say something about myself?...
started guitar way back in 64. Ive been in a few bands over the decades; nothing special.
although I am 54 yrs old, I dont feel like a geezer. hearing still works.
my big thrill comes every friday night. down in the warehouse district in Minneapolis there is a rehearsal/recording studio that, on friday evenings) is open for players to come and jam.
a few simple rules, like no sheet music or rehearsing, keeps things nice and lively. each week different players join in on the few regulars.
celos, violins, harmonicas, all kinds of percussive drums, sitars, mandos, my slide gear, electric and acoustic guiars show up.
depending on which instruments and people are here the music varies.
I have learned a lot jamming there.
it usually gets recorded on some type of format. mini disc.
we always enjoy it when singers show.

I am wrestling with pedal steel. been at it since last january. what a great instrument.
when I am not a musicin I am an artist. I show my work in galleries. and when I dont do that I work in a modern art museum. i do the exhibition lighting and help with the installation of the artworks.
I get to meet famous people sometimes. Yoko Ono for one. she was nice.
