Toronto Canada, playing about 10 months.  Chordie has been a great help with my lessons and taken me from"doing chord exercises" to playing music.  This is a fantastic website that my children now browse since they have started taking lessons as well.

Thanks for chipping in, diver1, and welcome to Chordie.  You'll find a wealth of information and lots of interesting dialogue in many places throughout the forums.  Stick around and enjoy.  Everyone is very happy to share their knowledge and experience - and now it's A Family Outing, too!

Well, after all the Irish Jigs and stuff tunes I'v been practicing in my group lessons, it's ironic that a big chunk of people posting on this thread are from the "Emerald Isle."  <grin>

Well, fellow CW freaks (you ARE CW freaks, aren't ya?) I am in the land of fruits and nuts, sunny Southern California, just a hop, skip and a looooong jump outside of Lon Angeles.  San Bernardino, the last song named in the song "Get Your Kicks On Route 66", and the home of fast food founders, McDonald Brothers, who help start the fast food EMPIRE!

Oh yeah, I forgot to say that I used to own a Gretsch Super 400 and a 1939 Martin D-28, the latter in absolutely perfect shape.  Sold it on eBay a few years back.

LOL, I have a sign in my living room that says almost the same thing, "I wasn't born in Maine, but, I got here as fast as I could."

As for CHordie's. I didn't start here, but, I got here as soon as I could!   <grin>
