You Play Em' I Make Em'

About Me

Lets see.... I'm Married with 2 children & I have a fantastic family and life. I just retired from my job of 25 years and until I find out what direction I'm going in I guess I'll be playing Mister home maker, ain't that a bitch!! I'm a hobby Luthier, which means I build guitars for fun. I'm kind of an oddball though because I can't play damn thing but the radio, yep not a note. I have been told by many of the people I've built guitars for that this is a plus because I build them without adding any of my own preferences. My taste in music runs the gamut, everything from Merl Haggard to AC-DC. I listen to music from the 1930's to the present and everything in between. Some of my other interest are American history,hunting, shooting (I use to be a Gunsmith) & fast car's My New Toy!!

My Interests

Music is a big part of my families life so that is one of my interest. Before music I had my own gun shop and did some gun smithing so firearms and hunting are another one. Other than that I'm looking forward to an early retirement and maybe becoming a full time luthier.http://www.geocities.com/hairy1663/Guitarsmain.html

I'd like to meet:

Pretty much anybody with the same interest as myself. I've been married since July, 13 1984 to the most wonderful women I've ever met so if your a female keep it clean and respectful (within reason,everybody likes good joke) & I'll do the same in return.

Music:

Anything that has a life of it's own. It has to have feeling and soul, and it has to be performed like it. Oh! and guitars help to.

Television:

The History Channel, A&E, The Discovery Channel, CMT, GAC, Austin City Limits. I use to enjoy MTV & VH-1 when they actually played music.

Heroes:

My Dad, He's retired U.S. Army and a veteran of the Korean & Vietnam war's. I've learned a lot from him and he's done more for me than he could imagine.
