Married 18 years to Dorothy
Gemma 15, Olivia 12, Leo 4

Teacher: English, History, Theology
and I've taught at every year level
in both primary and secondary school-
some of the preps I taught are now teachers....scary thought!
I've done cover bands, acoustic stuff still play in church and Gemma sings too.
Hope to be playing later this year with Pete
(aka) bigbadpj
sometimes at work I just daydream about it:

I fantasize about him wearing too much leather again in the new band
just like in his his youtube clips with James Freud and the Radio Stars.


(........................I just typed that out loud didn't I....)
It could be just like Joes Garage:
you know...with leather...on the bus
with the used telefunken's etc.
Pete's modest-
His band had hit songs- got to record at Abbey Road,
he met Jeff Beck and even bought a guitar from Gary Moore. (True!!!!)
Now if we don't form a band this year that will be edited to:
"he's a washed up has been...etc".

I'm a lefty like Bsic except with the strings upside down.
Discovered BJF's because of TGP
(thanks Donner, Markom, Newarkwilder, Doc Rock etc).
My 2 youtube clips for the Rocket Ride FEOTM are
LONGER
than all of Bobby D's clips put together!!!!
Notice I didn't say better.......
The discovery continues even with BJF pedals I've had for ages.
That's the "Nature" of the B-J-Feast!
They are continually Bjorn Again.

Welcome aboard, and much congratulations to your "bun"--'twas what I called my daughter when she "baking" in the belly--best miracle on this planet, as you'll soon know for yourself--play lots of music for your son/daughter--'tis good for the brain!

Idar
1980 model (30 yrs)- Norway (rural, coastal)
Single on/off
Music is my life. No preference for taste, all's good is good.

Picked up a guitar pretty early on. Wrote my first song at age 11 called "Best Friend in the World" modelled after Queen's "You're My Best Friend" Began playing in bands regulary in 1994 after discovering Black Sabbath and Nirvana riffage. Still love them, though I listen to everything from "British Steel" to "Mellow Candle". Not a "favourite guitarist" kind of person, but for the sake of the song (hey Townes!) I'd shout out Johnny Marr and Robert Fripp.

Living out in the countryside, occupying parts of a loft in an old house that belongs to a friend of mine.
For rental payment, he demands Steven Seagal films on DVD and the occasional obscure Zombie flick. No kidding!
When the Seagal films eventually run out, he has told me he wants Charles Bronson movies. A-OK with me!

I work at a local co-op, it's pretty good for now. Steady income and low rents + no wife/kids means cashola to spend.
Better to spend money on coloured boxes than on some "other" things that also comes in various colours.
Discovered the world of pedals, amps, guitars and related gear while recovering from some self-inflicted abuse several yrs ago (see "other" coloured things mentioned above).

Kleen as a sheet now, but by no means a fanatical twig-muncher . I still enjoy the beers and an occasional Jägermeister on the rocks. Herbal teas is gut .

Still interested/fascinated by other realities and otherworldly experiences/feelings. These would be my topics of interest.
Writing about how a particular sound is heard and what resonates musically, is a bit alien and new to me but I'll try my best with this. Mostly used to lurking forums, will try to contribute more here! This seems like a really cool, friendly place

OK, that will do- cheerio good people! Time to grab a Tuborg and plug the SG into the Honey Bee (still using the original battery, so I'm still In Utero, so to speak
