I got my 1st guitar when I was 13... 1st song I picked out by ear was House of the Rising Sun. Played until I was 31 when I crushed the middle finger on my left hand in a tracer-mill at Hughes Tool Co. working for Howard Hughes... Hence the nickname "Badfinger" Long story short... 34 years later I got my finger fixed. (fused at a 30 degree angle) and found I can use it again. I am amazed I still have the motor skills/memory I developed so many years ago. I'm grateful for the inspiration Griff... Where were you 30 some odd years ago bro. (grins w/wrinkles and a twinkle in his eye)

Welcome Bill,
Ha, that made me smile.
I got my first guitar at 13 and "House of the Rising Sun" was my go to song for just as many years.
Glad you got that bad finger working again.:thumbup:

Thank you all for welcoming me and becoming part of my life. I blocked music of any kind for a lotta years. The good part is I feel young again when I play because of those years. What I really needed was to be around people like you.(y)

Steady Bill!!! Not all together at the same time. You download the track and add your offering and upload it again. Still a lot of fun though.:)

Welcome, Bill. Lots of people around the US get together for informal jam sessions. Check out the "gigs & jams" site here and enter your name and location. One of the proctors will add it to the sticky tread and keep looking for responses - this is in addition to the virtual jam session mentioned by Dave above. Great having you join us!

Welcome! I am in and out, and sometimes disappear for months at a time (life gets in the way sometimes). But the guys here are great! Very supportive environment, and always something interesting happening. No matter how long I'm away, every time I come back it feels like coming home.
You're going to love it here!

I'm in Second Life that has 3D sound realtime. I can jam with people from around the world... Live and in sync. I've seen 4 people, on a virtual stage each from a different country perform together, real time... and it's all free.
