Hobbies?

[Wizzz]

I build electric guitars for a hobby. Did it professionally for several years. 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.

Nice! My brother played violin during high school and college. He was fairly good. At least to my tone deaf ears. He still plays to relax. In the last few years, though he took up bagpipes as well. Which is pretty impressive but alarming as hell when he fires up inside the house or in the front yard. Drives his wife nuts.
