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!
