Topic: Newbie here

Hi people, I've jumped on your band wagon I have about 6 or 8 guitars and now about 7 chords, got loads of books. Just moved from Manchester UK, to Adelaide South Australia. Ive been promising myself this for many years (guitar practice). I've been into music production since 1982, love synths, got hooked when I saved my paper round money and bought a Casio VL1 in 83 I think, which I still have. I have an old Korg X5 and a load of other basic studio equipment, and  logic pro on my mac. My best guitar is a Gibson SG, I have a Yamaha acoustic and couple of Epiphone's a Squire standard, and a Legacy Diamond les paul and Legacy imortal SG, and a legacy Bass, So who's going to make me a better dreamer than I am now...

By the way thanks to you all about the Claude J thing!!!!. Thats how I stumbled on this forum. I have been collecting his emails for years, always intending to look into it, I was about sign on the dotted line when I decided to check him out..     

THANKS GUYS

Hi Jerry, its been wet here the last couple of days. At least you have summer to look forward now there, we are just facing winter here but they are apparently mild.
