New Guy: RichR from KC
Hi,

I just joined. I have lurked and read posts here for quite awhile. This site is a great resource for anyone doing anything with guitars and their trappings.

I play in a gigging classic rock/blues band. Been playing for about 40 years, was about 10 when I started. You do the math.

My #1 axe is a '72 LP Deluxe Goldtop (baby humbuckers)
Also have a Mexi-strat with kinman pups (go figure, a $400 axe with $400 pups.), a 1964 ES-330 (cherry with nickel plated P90s); Acoustics: a 1942 Gibson J-45 (my Grandfather's), and a Breedlove Atlas.

My main amp is an Egnater Rebel 20. Bought one of the first last October. Loving it. Seen a lot of really helpful posts regarding the Egnater here.

Well enough about me.

Yeah, the bbq is good here!

My band is JJ's BluesBand (myspace.com/jjbluesbandkc)

More classic rock than blues, but were are stuck with the name for now.

Older guys playing stuff we like: Allman Bros, Steeley Dan, Cream, Neil Young, some blues, enough country to get us out of trouble, etc.

How far South did you move?

My wife is from Belton. I grew up in Grandview, but live on the KS side now. Jack's Stack is one of my favorites. Great beans and burnt ends.

My band has played Knucks a few times. Great place. Mostly national/touring acts, but the locals get in there, too.

When you are back here again, they have a great open jam on Saturday afternoon from 1-8 (1-5 when they have a Saturday night show starting early.) Just bring your axe. You can bring other gear also, if you wish.

One jam I used to go to had a female bass player and drummer. Great players. It is a special kick to jam with the fairer sex.

It's a small world after all.. Lived in both Grandview and Belton. Then moved to Raymore then NC.. Jack S is good but I prefer Gates beef and a half or Bryants.

Anywho.. welcome once again.
