On a good day; I feel about fifty; on a bad day about 75!  Most days I am really 57, but my body usually reminds me that I seem older.  Retiring almost seven years ago and having these bad knees may make me seem older!  However, I am ALIVE and KICKING enjoying being able to listen, learn and share with all you fine folks!

Dirty Ed, my ole buddy Ken from down Ross County way!  That picture was actually last week!  Anything even remotely maize or blueish got moved to the other closet for this week.  That ugly guy on the stool is just my big fat but.  The prettiest thing in the picture is a buddy of mines Bose system that he brings and hooks up for our playing.  It is an awesome sound system.  I always thought the Bose stuff was just an advertising gimmick until I actually heard and am now a believer.  Hope all is well with you!

A few of us have been hosting an open mic / accoustic jam session once a month at our local VFW Club.  This is me last weekend having a good time "entertaining the former troops" at the Club Canteen.  A lot of fun and everybody seemed to enjoy the music.

Welcome Rob; I like you just picked up about two years ago.  This is a great place to get your fill of info, friendship and support.  Don't be afraid to ask any question as the good folks on here are just full of; well, let us just leave it at that.  No, really, great site, great people; lots of good reading.  I don't post tooo much, but I do like to check in pretty often and keep up with all of the characters.  Here's hoping you become one of us Chordie characters.  I am just up the road a bit in south central Ohio.   Welcome!

Thanks guys for the responses!  Sorry for not being around for awhile.  Got real involved with out local VFW helping out trying to straighten out some problems.  Wife says I have been working harder at this than I was before I retired six years ago.  Still manage to check in, just not been recording and posting things.  Keeping track of all of you, especially Pete and all his music which he does so fine and Amy and her Chordiestock planning.  We did hold an open mic at the VFW and I was a hit!  Probably because I play mostly songs people know and have loved over the years.  Keep up what you are all doing!  I am around and will keep checking in.

Not familiar with the song Wayne, but I am a fan of what you do!  I am lucky to try and play and sing together, let alone play, sing and then add in the harmonica.  Nice Job!  I enjoyed it.  And; I like the blue guitar; if for nothing else what it stands for in terms of promoting music with the grandaughter.

I am in the middle of turning our entire basement into my "man cave."  This is under the total recommendation and with the approval of the wife.  My "studio" (our third bedroom) as she has called it;  has been determined to be returned to use as a spare bedroom for when the grandkids and family come over, so full speed ahead on the basement remodel.  Doing it all myself; it is going slowly, but it is going.  My new digs will include an HD projector which has been ordered; my music area; my office area; a bar; and my workshop on the back side of the basement.  Wife even suggested that future plans should include a bathroom!  She is being really great about this as she knows it will give me all kinds of room to occupy myself during these long, cold Ohio winter days.  When I retired, I had visions of spending considerable time in a warmer climate during the winter, but she likes the cold and doesn't want Florida trips like I do.  I think her real idea is that if I have enough play area, she will have to put up with me less and I will be less inclined to suffer seasonal depression when I can't get outside to play golf, fish etc.

Hey Naolslager; I have an Acoustic AG60 and have been really happy with it.  Others who have seen it, plugged into it liked it as well.  I think Zurf has one of these as well.  Bass aka Big Jim

Hey Pete!  I liked it; it just felt so right!  LOL  Nice job my friend.  Makes me want to go do something to share.  Good Job

Thanks BGD, I appreciate that!
