What's the story of your avatar image?

I switched back to the avatar I used when I first joined the forums. The intent is obvious to most, but I must explain that I don't do drugs and haven't for over three decades... but I did. I do confess that those days were the happiest of my life, because I had few responsibilities, great friends, and great times... and great music. I grew up. Playing for keeps changes things a little.

About 10 or more states have legal weed, and edibles are a blast. Growing up is over-rated.

Mine is 3 of my archtops - an ES 175, L5CES and an ES 5 Switchmaster. I got them all on finance at various points over the last 10  years and I feel very lucky to own them. I'm not solely a jazz musician, but I love jazz as much as many other styles and also love Les Paul's, SG's, Firebirds and lots of other Gibson's equally. Fender are ok, as are Gretsch, Ibanez etc., but Gibson were always the best for me.

I never change my avatar.  Oh, wait - I just did.  Never mind.

One of the first times I ever saw Mr. Natural, he was on perforated blotter paper, and he had rainbows coming from his eyes and thunderbolts coming from under his fingernails.

J'ville Jam 1977. The V behind me was the ville in J'ville (Jacksonville, Arkansas). probably 20 people in attendance.

I just got it 43 years later but I had a V behind me and one in front of me. I still have that guitar.

Because Ace Frehley is my all time favorite guitarist and KISS is my all time favorite band. The reason I started playing guitar a 8 years old.  

Seen KISS four times. The Originals once.

In the back of my Cadillac
A wicked lady sittin' by my side sayin' "where are we?"
Stopped at Third and Forty-three, exit to the night
It's gonna be ecstacy, this place was meant for me
I feel so good tonight
Who cares about tomorrow? So baby, you'd better believe
I'm back, back in the New York groove

Here I am, and in this city, with a fistful of dollars
And, baby, you'd better believe
I'm back, back in the New York Groove 
When did you see them, by the way? I actually got to meet Gene back in 2017.

Saw the originals when they got back together in 1995 in San Diego, CA with some guy I was stationed with in The Coast Guard,  in 2009 with my wife in Hampton, VA, in 2010 in Virginia Beach, VA with my son, and in 2014 and again with my son.

I was a KISS nut from about 3th grade till Dynasty came out in 7th grade. I was like WTF is this Garb. Disco oh no, not on my watch.

If it weren't for that he'd take me up on it, I'd pay not to meet Gene. 

Gene can eat a whole bag of d-icks. I'll even buy him the family size bag. What a self absorbed piece of s-hit he is. Who cares how many chicks you say you slept with, I hope your tiny weeny falls off you tool.

And he's too cheap to buy a real wig. So a Brillo pad it is. 

Jesus.
