Hey Pancho, you're exactly right about practice time. It becomes harder and harder to practice if you don't at least just try to get in 15 minutes/ day. rpguitarrepair is my side business, as I repair/ refret, etc. guitars at night after dinner. In fact, one of my clients is from Austin; his name is Daniel Carson and he plays for Chris Tomlin. Since I'm not playing out, I just don't practice like I should. You're in a wonderful place to hear live music. My favorite band right now is the Mothertruckers; I think they're out of Austin. Josh Zee is the guitarist and he's a monster.
Our band name was Double Clutch and the Downshifters. The singer is an old friend of mine; we just decided to put something to go out and have fun with. It was fun for a couple of years and then we developed other interests. We played everything from Buck Owens to Bon Jovi, and could usually fill a bar with people. Since I bought this TA, all of my spare time seems to go to laying on my back scraping off undercoating, and spitting Ziebart out of my mouth
Sorry to hear about your axes getting robbed John, and a Marshall, too? Ugh. I got with my insurance rep a while back with a detailed list of my gear, just to make sure. Of course a mean-looking dog and an active security sign doesn't hurt
Who the heck steals a refrigerator???
Hey oboogie80, Zac's stuff is really big here; he was raised, went to school, and launched his career in the north Atanta area. In fact, he bought my father-n-law's leather shop off of craigslist. My father-n-law answered the phone and the guy said he was Zac Brown, he was like "yeah right". Zac signed an artist named Nic Cowan, and I just refretted his guitar player's guitar about two weeks ago. They're nice people from what I hear.
