Just on the military theme ( i'm not a military man myself) my father in law was a Lancaster bomber pilot during the 2nd world war and flew back to the uk on one mission with only one engine that was working and landed safely with only a minor injury to one of his crew members.. he later flew Vulcan bomber missions in the cold war era. An exceptionally brave man but quiet and unasuming...sadly no longer with us.. He was awarded the DFM and the DFC and Bar for his skill and bravery under action..
To the guy working as an electrician on power lines.. a job both demanding and dangerous at times ,i can imagine, you keep the lights on for all of us and keep our amps powered up too!! Thanks...
This forum has people from all walks of life.. and our common theme..The Blues..what else but music to bring us together..
I love it...Malc. C.

Well, this is my first forum post ever. Â My first forum ever. Â My first attempt at posting a picture on a forum. 
And I just figured out how to shrink the size of a photo..... wow. I'm a rocket scientist.

Welcome Dixie..you are just what this forum needs..a pretty woman playing a Strat.
Doesn't get much better than that.
Where do you play? I googled a Phil Brady's and it came up Baton Rouge.

Well then, we cannot wait to hear your first recording if you do that well with "firsts"
Welcome to the gang by the way!

Ah shucks. Thanks. Yup- Baton Rouge. Home of the Blues, Tabby Thomas, Chris Thomas King, Larry Garner, Kenny Neal, Lil'Ray Neal, James Johnson, T-Bone Singleton, and a whole lot of others, one of which I will not mention. And for every one whose name you might recognize, I can name ten others who play just as good, whose name you don't. I play at Teddy's Juke Joint these days. Phil Brady's got too political and it sucked all the fun out of it, but the lighting on the stage made for a good pic, a couple of years ago. I am a strictly rhythm player, (and singer) who started off fingerpicking folk music on the acoustic, transferred to the Blues via the bass, then went to the electric after the last car wreck messed up my shoulders, and I am bored with what I play, and I want to learn how to play lead. But even when I have someone like Sundanze showing me something, I just can't remember it when I get home....So, Griff, I love the lessons, and the video that I can turn on and off, and my husband showed me some button on the remote that I can press at the beginning of a segment so that it just keeps looping- because I can't just play it twice through in rehersal and expect not to want to stop in the same place on stage. But if any of you are in Baton Rouge on a Wednesday night, please come out to Teddy's- because I will put you up on stage with me, for sure. And I'll play rhythm behind you, because I'll bet you play better than me.... It's not about being the gun slinger just come into town, but about the fun of it- and playing IS fun- and it's the best seat in the house. But I will be practicing! And for the purists- that's only a Strat copy- a Yamaha Eterna electric probably made by Kaohsiung Yamaha in Taiwan. But I have little hands, and it has a narrow neck and a thin backside, so even I can wrap my fingers around to fret the Low E string from the top! And it cost me only $70 on E-Bay..... sounds real good with an FDR-1 pedal!

I am finding out that to be a good rhythm player it takes lots of practice and discipline. That's why I'm still on lessons one through six.
The chord changes are taking me forever to master.
When Griff kicks up the speed I get left in the dust.
Just going to make it that much sweeter when I finally get up to speed.
You will blow through those first lessons Dixie.
