Hi All,

Firstly I must apologise for being out of the loop for so long...in August of 2009 I moved to a small westcountry town, in which my street had little-to-no internet access. So, for the last 18 months, I've been connected to the 'net via my BlackBerry, which doesn't work properly with this forum, for some reason.

 

However, happily my wife and I have now moved to a beautiful new home on the other side of town, which happens to be on the road to the local hospital, so we have 14.5mbps NHS-quality optical broadband!

 

In short, I'm back, what have I missed?

 

Any amazing new guitars on the forum or any great stories?

 

I've accrued a few new gitfiddles since I logged in last, as you can see by my sig. The best bargain of which being my 118yr old 1893 Lyon & Healy parlour guitar, found by my wife in a local furniture/house clearance shop down a backstreet, in almost mint condition, for £145! As soon as she told me I was down there like a bullet out of a gun...amazing guitar, sounds great for Charley Patton and Blind Lemon Jefferson stuff, as you'd expect.

 

I also picked up a gorgeous 1933 Kalamazoo KG21 archtop from my go-to indie guitar dealer Glenn Sinnock at www.glennsguitars.com, check his site out...some pure guitar porn and at ridiculous prices too, as he deals from home and has no shop overheads. He has some exquisite '50s LG0s which are among the best blues guitars I've ever played.

Yes, welcome back. B)

 

When you get a chance, how about pics of your new acquisitions.
