Greetings!

Post by JeffE »

I'm a new member, this is my first post. I've been playing guitar off and on since 1977 and got my first guitar and amplifier (Tesco del ray and a silvertone 1484) just a few weeks after my older brother took me to see Chuck Berry in NYC. I live near Charleston SC and help run a sanctuary for special needs cats here. I'm a major league Dead Head having seen them 178 times between October 1980 and April 1995. I've got pretty eclectic taste in music loving everything from Bagpipe bands to the MC-5.

Welcome!
Chuck Berry was an early influence on me as well. Are you still rocking the Teisco/Silvertone rig?
