Hullo all Children of Leo! Well, when my third wife left me back in march I told myself; that's it, I'm buying a guitar and learning how to play the blues. I've been a blues freak for the past 30 years but never had the motivation to learn to play so, thanks Annie! So I bought an axe (a butterscotch blackguard American strat standard) a g-deck and started taking lessons. Now I also have a sonic blue 60's players strat, a crimson mahogony American special h/s/s strat, a black guard butterscotch American Tele deluxe, and finally, my "one" a two tone American strat deluxe V-neck and am eyeing a NOS blues Jr.. I also now have a hefty credit card debt but no regrets. There's no better cure for a broken heart than playing the blues.

Welcome to the forum, my friend.

As Duane Allman once said, "I haven't seen my wife in two or three years, I'm a happily married man...."

Welcome!

I am with you and totally behind you!
My ex wife made me sell my first strat, that I bought when I was 16!! That should have been my first warning. Welp, she's gone and I now have two beautiful Strats, and a better second wife.
I bought my first one after she left, and used it as a tool to get my mind off the madness. It really helped!
So, keep playin' and postin' there are a lot of great people here!

[quote="Michael Cook"]

Michael: No more wives and no more broken hearts. Find yourself and your self worth. If need be, burn it out through those guitars. No greater conduit for emotion than a well bent note.

If you truly love music, then any one who will love you must love your music as well, because it is an intrinsic part of your soul. There are others in the forum who will attest to this observation. Do not make part of your life, any one who will not, or cannot share this joy.

You will find great companions, and much support here.

Wait until StratmanSteve gets a hold of this one!


Stay close and...'Damn Right!! Play them blues!!"

Doc :wink: :wink: 8)

After 3 divorces if anyone is ready to play the blues its you. The silver lining to all the dark clouds is your new gear. Enjoy it..
