[telechucker]

Hey all - new member / 1st. time poster here. My handle is telechucker and I currently live in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. I originallly hail from Ottawa, Canada - came out here with my family in late 1977.
Congrats on a great site - it's all a tele addict could want and more. I just thought I'd see if there were any other tele addicts from Aus. kickin' around. Unfortunatly, here in Melbourne, country music is not very popular at all. Melbourne is known as a blues/roots mecca. This can be very disheartening to a picker who wants to slip in a bit of "chicken pickin' " into a show. And to add to it, not a lot of country artists tour here. I still play Merle's "Workin man's blues" every show I do and have done for the last 10 - 15 years. Still hoping to convert the uninitiated I guess.
Anyway - thanks for your time - pm me if you feel inclined.
