Howdy yall!!

[BarbSpenser]

My name is Barb and I just became a new member! I live in the wonderful capital of South Carolina and I have been playing a Tele for better part of the last 20 years. My sweetie is Bill, and not only did he buy me this laptop for my birthday so I could log on he also bought me a new Telecaster. Well its not actually new as its about 5 or 6 years old, but Bill wanted me to retire my other one. The frets were getting worn and he says he didn't want anyone working on it. My old one is a blond from around 1966 with the maple board on the neck. My new one is a Deluxe with a nice red color and white binding around the edge and 3 pickups to boot! I can see that there is a lot of stuff to read here and that is where I am going to start. I hope to have an avanter soon as one of my girlfriends says she found something that would look a lot like me when she finishes doctorin it up. I don't know about that but I guess I will just have to wait and see.

Thank all of you for putting up with my first post. I hope to get better as time goes all. Bless all of you and have a dandy weekend!

Hey Barb, and welcome to the TDPRI!
I'm a native lowcountry geechee, good to see a sandlapper on here.
Enjoy.

Howdy Barb! I love Columbia. I used to do business there once a month and I would stay downtown at the Mariott. A lady named Polly Carter (if I remember correctly) used to play guitar in the lounge.

Oh gee, this was 20 years ago!!!

Welcome aboard. You'll be hanging with what seems to be a pretty nice group of Telefanatics.

Back in '72 I bought myself one of those blonde, maple-capped '67 guitars. Like you, I'm a little shy about taking it out these days. It is a mighty fine guitar.

[geddins]

Barb....and tell Bill he's allowed as well! :D . I'll just echo what's already been said....this is the best forum (IMO) on the 'net, and ........WE NEED PICTURES!! :D :D

[jwells393]

Welcome BarbSpencer.............. I think I may have a twin to your blond 66. I also would like to see pictures.

[txspreacher]

Nice to have you here! Like the other folks, I'm kinda hankerin' for some pics of your Teles.

Welcome!!!

[Long_Ghost]

I was born and raised in Sumter, SC-- so your post made me a little homesick.

Welcome!

[maestrovert]

Heya !!
Welcome to the TDPRI !

i'm 'fraid yer gonna get whalloped with lotsa requests to post pics o' yer Teles ;-) get used to it ! ;-)

[Wild Rice Chris]

Welcome, enjoy your stay, and may it be a long one. The folks around here are the nicest bunch of tele-obsessed people on the internet.

[BarbSpenser]

Wow you guys are just sweeties for making a gal feel welcome! I dont know about pictures cause we shipped my old guitar last week to my folks to keep as there is not much room in the apartment here. we are hurting for room and with Bills and my amps and guitars packed in the corner of the front room it looks enough of a mess as is.

Old Fuzzy you sure do type funny. It confused me at first but when i sounded it out loud I could understand what you were saying. Im still giggling over Kolly-forn-knee-ya. Durtdog I always heard it wasnt nice to call someone a geechee. I don't know why they call us SC folks sandlappers as there aint much sand in Columbia.
Staxman! My girlfriend Janice lives just this side of Sumter! This is a small world and your all the way over in WA. No wonder your homesick.

Sorry but Bill just got back so I have to go run some errands cause we got to play tonight. Thank you all so very much. You are all so very nice!

[Farfel]

[0le FUZZY]

First of all, I'd like to personally welcome Barb to the TDPRI family, where virtually everyone is warm, kind, helpful, and full of knowledge. I look forward to reading more posts from you, Barb! :D

Second of all:

For the benefit of Farfel, Barb, and everyone else who isn't really sure about 0le FUZZY and his posts: I know first hand from his many posts here at the TDPRI, from my phone conversations with him, and from the e-mails and private messages between us, 0.F. is probably one of the most intelligent people I've ever known. He's also a strict nonconformist and nobody's fool. So just enjoy the FUZZYspeak, and know that you're privileged when he speaks to you--he is an outlaw with a kind heart and a sharp, learned mind.

(FUZZY probably wouldn't want me spreading all this around about him, but it's the level truth. :) )

Hi Barb, tell us what kind of music you like to play and a little about your style. This is a great place, hope you enjoy it and get as much fun and knowledge from the forum as I have.

Ok, but what about the action figure, what's that all about?

Howdy, Hello, and Welcome.
