One's only real life is the life one never leads.

Hi there everyone,

I have been reading through this forum for a long time, but decided that it was time to get my feet a bit wet. First off, I do not actually own a telecaster. When I do get one, I promise that y'all will be the first to know. My favorite players are Rory Gallagher, Brad Paisley, Vince Gill, and Frank Zappa. On that note, Vince's tone and feel are considered to be the ideal tele sound for me.

Manchester United is my team and football is my sport. I also play rugby when I get a chance, but I am finding that it takes a lot longer to recover from a tackle then in my younger years.

I like big trucks and bigger skies. I try to get out to a new national park each summer to camp and fish, but most of the time I am wandering Pennsylvania's trails. I'd love to take on Norway's big open spaces some day.

Well, that seems like plenty for the moment. Thanks for having me along for the ride.

Welcome ! ( I like the "big trucks, bigger skies" line, I might steal it and put it in a song )
Speaking of National Parks, have you ever been to Joshua Tree ? Not much fishing going on there , but beautiful place nonetheless.
I'm sure you've heard it before, but I feel obliged to warn you : Teles are addicitive.

Feel free to use it in a song - Just mention me in the liner notes!

I have not been out that way... yet. JT is on my list though. It seems like whenever I decide to head that far west, I usually go back to Yellowstone. There is just something about pulling into that tiny airport at Jackson that makes me feel at home.

I could use a new addiction... and a tele is better than most.

Welcome to the forum!
You've chosen some awesome players as your influences...that's the most important part in my opinion!
Have fun!
