I grew up playing acoustic guitar with my mom all my life. My dad was the lead singer of various rock bands and I grew up in a house filled with music. GREAT music, not this Justin Bieber & Taylor Swift nonsense. My mom passed away a few years ago and I inherited her guitar and I found myself wanting to try to play again. I have randomly sat down and picked a few tunes and that acoustic just brought back how bad it hurts to play until my fingers get tough.

Well this Christmas, Santa decided that I needed an upgrade. I am a huge fan of blues and slide especially, really admire Derek Trucks and Duane Allman so I got an Epiphone SG. :-P

Never owned an electric guitar before so this is a whole new world. Yesterday I got a Hughes & Keffner amp, a Zoom multi stomp box, a glass slide, and this really super cool little Snark tuner. It is so handy!

You Tube is a real blessing and I've been schooling myself. Even taking notes and studying what each effect sounds like so I know how to set them up and what all those knobs are for on my new amp. I am a long time singer and always been able to play along enough to sing with on the guitar. I may not ever give Derek Trucks a run for his money but it keeps me entertained! I can crank it up in the basement and not disturb anyone!

Very interesting ,2rollingstoned!
I've always wondered what was behind your love & appreciation of all good music. All your posts are moving ,...both physically & mentally. Pretty tough to keep with you, but I'm sure trying & me wont give up....my friend. :lol:
Very sorry to hear about your mom & I'll bet her soul/energy is still very proud of you & always will be. YOU ROCK & RULE!!!

Theres a group of underrated song writers, I saw underrated because they just aint as popular as I think they should be posting a few best first. Townes sound and voice tell such a dark story. He never really got famous but you can see him in the Willie Nelsons video for Pancho and Lefty, a song he wrote. I'm sure every stoners heard his rendition of the Stones Dead Flowers from the Big Libowski soundtrack.

I actually learned of Townes from the documentary they made of him Bere Here to Love Me, which led to discovering Guy Clarke and had me scratching my head as to how they'd both escaped me, I've been a Steve Earle fan since like 1993.

There is an amazing documentary about Town Van Zandt called Be Here to Love Me, it has home videos their group, including a 17 year old Steve Earle chugging 5ths, Steve Earles mentor Townes Van Zandt, his kid who tours the country is named Justin Townse Earle even.

This song taught me the funk in junior high when it came out. Now it reminds me of the war on marijuana.

My friend: Thanks for always being so upbeat and positive all the time. You are awesome! Thanks for all your kind words.

I used to run into Steve Earle a lot back in the 90s, he would stop in the same market I did as I was going to work! I've read pretty extensively about TVZ, he was a unique talent.

I love to cook so dinner tonight was sesame ginger marinated whole roasted chicken with roasted garlic parmesan broccoli, orange bell peppers and tomatoes. Twas delish!
