New here. Saying hello!
« on: January 05, 2017, 06:16:32 PM »
Hello nice people!

After being a "Taylor Artist" since 1996 and a few years on AGF with same user name, I am finally getting going here on the UTGF.  Better late than never!  Haha

I am 65, a lifer muso and former singing drummer/bandleader.  Switched to solo guitar/retro one man band, about 1992.

Now playing a ton of Acoustic gigs. mostly in Senior and healthcare facilities.

Always juggling instruments and searching for another grail...

Looking forward to more guitar buddies!!! :)

Cheers

Paul
