Any One Here A Musician?

[Doug Shepard]

It's been quite a while since anything has been out of the case, but I guess I still consider myself a musician. Played guitar since about 8 years old, 3 out of 4 years of a music major degree studying jazz/classical, and professionally in bands for about 10 years when I was in my 20's and early 30's - mostly on the dismally boring Top 40 circuit where you're basically just a clone of the record with moving parts. Also play a little bit of bass, keyboards, harmonica and have dabbled with saxaphone, clarinet, and mandolin. I tried violin very briefly but I like cats, and I was just scarin the poor things. If I can ever wade through my project To-Do list, I've been wanting to build one of the Siminoff H5 Mandola kits and maybe an acoustic guitar or 2. I'd really like to pick up a nice archtop or maybe a semi-hollow and start playing more again. Used to have an Ibenez 335-type (same one John Scofield plays) but in one of my stupider moves I traded it for a bass. All I've got at the moment are a classical, a Yamaha thinbody acoustic/elec, a Steinberger, Hughes & Kettner amp, a Mando, Kawai & Oberheim synths, drum machine, and a funky 4-track cassette recorder (talk about yer obsolete technology).

Dave..what model is that Gibby w/ Bigsby? looks sweet...
I sold 2 Les Pauls to buy WW machines...was worth it, but I'm not selling any more guitars(got several more Gibsons). they are fetching a LOT more than what I paid for 'em, so they'll be passed down to the Grandson. same for the other gear. the 4x12 Engls are bringing over 1500( I paid 6 for it)...
gald to see other axeplayers here @ the Creek!!!

The guitar in the chair is a 1992 country gentleman, I also have a 1924 L5 and a 1910 flattop. mine are not for sell either ( unless I get real hungry ) LOL

I've been accused of making my fair share of noise in my time...made my living at music in the 70s but I don't get to play nearly enough these days. Here are some of the current toys



Missing from the pic are a 78 BC Rich Seagull and a few of my amps (73 Marshall full stack, another small Fender and some oddballs from the 60s)

that Custom looks like a modded Framton model... or a Frehley( but I though they were sunbursts)..
the Boogie is cool, had a F-100 that was waaaaaay too loud, however, I doubt that it would compare to the 73 Marshall... what type is it ? (I'm bettin' 100 watter )...
