Hi Everyone,

I am an older guy who has played off and on for over 30 years.
After not doing much for the last ten years or so I caught the bug again
and have been upgrading my gear and "chops" for the last 2 years or so.

I love the blues !!! I enjoy Clapton, Billy Gibbons, Joe Bonamassa, Keith Richards and most recently Greg Koch....among others.

Ofcourse I've spent a fair amount of time listening to Buddy Guy, BB King,
Albert Collins and other masters of the genre too.

Far from being a purist I also enjoy other artists and styles as well..
Danny Gatton - Vince Gill - Albert Lee........

My gear includes...

Agile Douglas WF-150 TA - Telecaster clone
Peavey Classic 20 Amp
Peavey Tweed 112 Open-back Extension Cabinet with Celestion G12T-75

The above "Tweedy Rig" is something I've put together over the last
couple of years. The "tele" was a challenge initially but I am slowly making
progress playing blues style with it. A very different feel than my strat.,,,but I love the tone with the Peavey Classic 20....a little gain boost a little delay...yummy harmonics and overtones.

Also have....

MIJ Stratocaster ( purchased about 1982-4 ) w Seymour Duncan Jeff Beck pup in the middle position

Blues Junior Amp


SRB808 Classic Overdrive Pedal
Ibanez Delay Pedal

A Couple Of Quotes...

" I feel the need--the need for tweed " - TeleGlider from Idaho
