Worked at Hamer guitars and Washburn guitars. Worked as a guitar tech on the road and also toured as a guitar player with a couple bands. That was in the late 80's early 90's.
Now I am semi-retired and back to building guitars and writing a book about boutique guitars. So guitars.
Built this relic from spare parts I had accumulated.
I love guitars.
I never played well, just good enough for most to recognize the song I was attempting to play.
Tried my hand at the piano, the flute, and violin, but my greatest love is the cello. Unfortunately, a few guys came to visit and have made themselves at home, and it doesn't look like they are going to leave. So, it does not look like I ever going to get much better at any of my instruments.
I am hoping that Arthur, Osteo, and Rhemy, take a hike, but I am sure they are rooted in for the duration.
I played violin and guitar in my youth, I was fairly good I guess but no real inmate talent, I could read sheet music and keep a beat, but I was never gifted, not like some of those who played with me. I actually had a friend back in the day who got a full ride scholarship to Juilliard - so I knew just playing with people like that, that I didn't have what it takes, ya know?
My one inmate talent truly was baking. Which isn't a particularly glamorous talent... Hahaha
What can you do? Well let's see, I can whip up a batch of cinnamon rolls or a loaf of bread, or, just for fun mind you, some pasta! Hahaha.
