Me with a (mainly 12-string) guitar, supplemented by occasional rudimentary harmonica.
42 y.o. Aussie guitarist/vocalist. Came to London in Feb 2000 & played with a few bands, including Carbon13 (2000-2) and Bunny (2003). Currently trying to start a solo act. Main musical effort at the moment is to busk a large, eclectic collection of songs on the Licensed Busking scheme on the London Underground.
Thanks for the picture comments! I am indeed a lefty; thought I'd be awkward, you know :) That guitar is the second guitar I ever owned, it's knackered but for some reason I've still kept it!
Thankyou!..it does take a rather long time to get to the stage of knowing oneself...especially if one has had a painful past..or a fucked-up childhood,etc
...i dont do much else apart from music...and im addicted to trying to improve it!!
I see you shine when you busk GAM!!...so you must know yourself to!!..to some degree :-)
Great music GAM I'd like to hear more, even better have a jam with you and listen at the same time. You should get a gig at the Woodford Festival. ciao bob
