I'm Hal in Memphis. I play in a popular cover band,www.theplaintiffs.com (http://www.theplaintiffs.com), and at two churches, www.highpointmemphis.com (http://www.highpointmemphis.com), and www.thestirring.net (http://www.thestirring.net). I am the leader for the Stirring. I also have a real job and a family.

I have been playing guitar for 30 plus years and have spend time in every phase except heavy jazz and heavy metal. I play about 15 gigs a month including church. About a third of those are acoustic. I make some really good supplemental income with this.

I am blessed to have a bunch of cool toys. I have a guitar from every major food group except one with P-90s(hope to get one this coming year). I'm current playing a Goodsell Super 17 amp with a Celestion Vintage 30 into a ridiculous pedal board. My excuse for the pedalboard is that I'm am in cover bands and I have to be ready for anything. I also have a couple of old amps that I bring out from time to time, including a 66 Deluxe, my first amp. I bought it used for 100.00 in the early 70s.

I generally hang out at the TDPRI and occasionally the LP forum and the Mandolin Cafe. Glad to be on board here!

hello, I have a feeling I'm going to end up with one of those ridiculous boards myself. Too many cool things to explore in this site. Live it up.

Welcome from another former Memphian. Check out the Collings 290 for a P90 guitar. Been getting good reviews.
