Hi all
Always liked guitar based music. 70's classic/bluesy rock is what does it for me. Now in my late 50's, decided to get a guitar and have a go. (Unfortunately, no talent / old dog...new tricks etc. means it's slow progress). Still, I enjoy mucking around trying.
Recently found this place, and like reading all the info.
Q1: Where did your username come from?
Same one I use on various other forums.
Q2: Where in the world/country are you?
Scotland. The bottom, left bit.
Q3: What's your main musical ambition?
To make some vaguely musical noises that I find pleasing.
Q4: Your "best" bit of gear - just the one?
My unbranded LP style guitar.
Q5: Your #1 ever track - again, just the one?
Boston - A Man I'll Never Be
