Greetings.
I'm a retired from work dude, and I play some guitar.
I began guitar dabbling in 1980 with a sad Ibanez classical guitar, and a so-so Yamaha Strat-like object. I eventually dabbled into an Aria Pro II Custom ZZ set-neck Explorer-shaped object in '86, also the same time I began my career that I would retire from. Long work hours, coupled with the onset of adult responsibilities, the Aria was barely touched for years to come.
Fast forward to the end of 2020, I retire and then reassert the guitar into my life. I enjoy playing, but really love setup and maintenance. I find inspiration from many guitarists, but two of them standout for me; Stevie Ray Vaughan and Robbie Blunt.
Other than that, I enjoy photography, astronomy and love my cats....and the wife, too.
I'd add motorcycle riding, sport V-twin fanatic, but that ship sailed years ago with a disagreement with a telephone pole on a canyon road...
Anyway, that's my story and I'm sticking with it. I'd post a then-and-now pics of this geezer, but don't know if that's kosher.
So, thanks for having me.
Regards,
J
