how long have you been playing guitar, and what/who inspired you to take up the instrument

Been playing on and off for more years than I care to count. Started off in a folk group with Mom and my Brother when I was in gradeschool. (Kingston Trio, Limelighters, etc.)

Played in a garage band for a few years in high school, and then for the next 20 plus years, just as a hobby around campfires.

Now I am settling down to really learn how to play so that I can jam with some of the talent here in KY, and so that I can do better at my recording.

Thanks!
