35. playing since 1980. I was inspired by a good friend who owned a Les Paul. He worked all summer to buy it (back then a Std. cost $750 new) so I got a cheap iumport copy that required a kung fu grip to play and a solid state Ampeg amp with a 8" speaker which, no joke, lasted about 40 min. after I got it home. We cranked out Neil Young tunes for a long time until his fater, a freaked out fundamentalist on a crusade against Satan, smashed his LP to pieces on the side of their brick house. Ouch.

It's been a long strage trip. ;-)
