I have an embarrassingly large guitar collection, I'll let you know next time we're having a jam session, in case you'd like to come by. I think you're an hour away or less. We just have fun, no rules, no plans, just music and hanging out.
Cheers!
Yeah, I lived in SoCal when hair metal exploded. I was and am a huge Rush fan, and the metal that I like was more Maiden and Sabbath than the peroxide crap, so getting into bands was sometimes pretty tough. I was denim and leather, they wanted spangles and mascara, a lot of the time, it seemed. I gigged enough but never in a band that caught a large following, so it was a series of bands ranging from thrash to blues to bass in a Hendrix tribute band. Last paying gig was about five years ago. I do the occasional open-mic here at Poodie's, a roadhouse opened by Willie Nelson's late road manager.
Always up for a jam ... bought an Epiphone Valve Jr yesterday used at GC yesterday, first amp I've owned in years. Just to tide me over until I pick up an Egnater.
