All thangs Twang...records, guitars and gigs take up literally 90% of my life. 40's, 50's and 60's honky tonk and country, western swing, and rockabilly... as well everything that Grady Martin and Bob Moore eve even thought about playing on. SUN label 45's and 78's and white label mints I can't afford. Finding new old music I've never heard before. Vintage guitars - my husband bought me a mostly original '51 Telecaster instead of an engagement ring - Telecasters, Joe Barden pickups...the greatest pickups on the planet, pre '62 big bodied Guilds, tweed amps. Besides music I really dig on classic horror films, sci-fi, B movies and vintage movie posters and memorabilia of the like. And our dog, Bigsby, who's a Basset Hound... :)
Music
40's, 50's and 60's honky tonk, country, western swing, R&B and rockabilly... I've been really getting into old R&B much more than I ever have - I heart Otis Redding..."These Arms of Mine" AND "Try a Little Tenderness" can make my eyes roll back in my head still to this day. I absolutely love James Brown and Nat Kendrick, Sam Cooke, Ray Charles, Stax, Atlantic, you name it. I love old punk rock and my heart is and always will be early country...that's a crazy list, I know, but it's what I love! Music is a constant here in our household - I'm listening to the Loretta Lynn boxset on random right now and last night I fell asleep to Dr. Hook and The Medicine Show. Go figure...
Movies
I love classic horror films and old sci-fi one offs - The Crawling Eye, The Human Monster, Forbidden Planet...I'm a huge classic horror geek...what the hell am I talking about - I'm just a huge geek. I'm still amazed at times that someone actually married me.
Television

About me:
I play guitar and go where they tell me to...
I've been playing guitar since I was 13. I joined my first band...well, the band leader was my Dad but it still counts!...and started gigging Missouri honky tonks and bars three nights a week up until I was 17. When I was 17 I met my future husband and left that little bitty Missouri town for the big city of Indianapolis, Indiana (*cough*). I play lead guitar and sing in Mandy Marie and the Cool Hand Lukes now and still do gigs all across Missouri with my Dad as often as I can.
Both my husband & I play music for a living...we barely get by, live month to month on love and cheap Mexican food, can't afford to drink anything other than Pabst Blue Ribbon and water, but we wouldn't have it any other way. He's a wonderful husband... if we truely have souls, that man is my soul mate...and my best friend :o)
Who I'd like to meet: I like meeting people that have a sense of humor that's as weird and sick as mine...if you like Troma films, you'll like me! ...if you like Scatman Crothers and nude black velvet paintings, you'll like me! ...if you like sci-fi toys, Pabst Blue Ribbon and butterscotch pudding, you'll like me! And I like meeting people that dig on B-movies and good music...that isn't asking too much is it?! As far as who I've met that I really wanted to meet ... we bought an amp from Scotty Moore and I've had the honor of playing guitar with both Marty Stuart and Ray Price... my life is pretty dang complete *blush*! I really like making new friends and never, ever, ever being bored...idle hands are the devils hands!
