Forum

Hello everyone, my name is Gary (Stratman3)B) , I have been a Target member for a couple of months. What a great site, I am so addicted. I just started reading the forum over the couse of the last few days, so I thought it was time to introduce myself. I live in Magnolia Texas, just a small country town NW of Houston. I am originally from Chicago.
I am 57 years young. I was one of thoses 60's garage band kids, what a great time, what fun, We played parties local dances and carnivals. I was the lead singer and played a little guitar. should of kept on going.
I love all kinds of music, all acoustic, major Beatles fan, sixties music, British invasion, 70's, southern rock and I love the blues. I currently own three guitars a Martin, a Fender American Strat and a Epiphone Les Paul. All very nice guitars. As I said before, my Martin is my baby.
Anyway love TG, I am a big kid in a candy store.B)

Welcome Stratman3, from Western Washington

Hi Gary in Magnolia and Haoli25 in Plano. I'm about 100 miles east of you, Gary, just outside of Beaumont, Texas. (And about 330 miles south of you, Haoli25.) I've been a Target member for a few months but haven't really posted anything. Since Magnolia is so (relatively) close, thought I'd say hi.

Good to have you with us Songman. I love that area that you are in. Long, long ago, (and far, far away) I did some work in that area. It was so long ago, I actually built a
"Quad-Stereo" radio station down there...KWIC.
Songman if you have any questions please ask. We would also appreciate you sharing any tips or tricks you have. There are many great musicians on this site from all over the world and they are even better people and always willing to help.
If you will, open your own thread under this category and tell us all about you. As my friend BigBear says, it's painless and you can read about us too. Check out the groups too when you have a chance.

When I wasn't living in southern Michigan I lived in New Caney, Jefferson or Conroe TX. Howdy to y'all! B)

Hello Gary, how's the weather there in Texas? Greetings on a cool but sunny and beautiful autumn day in Switzerland. Good story. In England in those early days it wasn't garage bands so much as broomstick bases, washboard rhythms and clattering spoons. Enjoy the candy store! See you on the forums.
And greetings songman... welcome to the forums...

Welcome Gary from way down South. Sounds like you have some really good experience to share. Enjoy yourself!

Gary:

Welcome from Ventura, CA. I hope to visit Houston some day and check out "Southpaw Guitars".

Glad you took the time to introduce yourself. With your background you will fit in perfectly around here.

I have a Fender Strat as well. Did a few mods to it, and I love it.

Hope to see you around more often now.

Cheers!

MJ
