Hi everybody...Where the heck have I been? Hanging out on guitar and music forums trying to get a life other than signs (which has been my sole preoccupation and hobby for as long as I can remember). Recording a few songs for the apparently on-hold SongPainters CD set me off on a new direction since January that has had me hypnotized. But I miss you guys. I wander back here every so often and put in a couple cents worth, but I've been feeling a little out of the loop. Until today.

While checking on the progress of a post about a potential meet of some sort in the New England area, I noticed a link Steve posted about Cam's Stonington meet. It was fun to look through those pics and remember that day. But what was most fun was seeing two of my pieces listed there om the photos page. Cool! A great way to get that fuzzy sign-thing purring again. What really kicks my grits is one of them is a hand painted piece - the kind of work I virtually NEVER do anymore.

I remember thinking at the time it was going pretty well for my rusty old brush skills. Then I never saw it again till just now. Not too shabby for my first attempt in (10?) years. Maybe you folks who still hand letter regularly could criticize it, but I gotta tell you, I'm thinking I'm pretty hot. Remember when EVERYTHING was done with a brush? Well, I still got it. At least enough of it to amuse myself. Paint on.

Joe, thanks for sharing the fuzzies and high from remembering your first love. We all need both the reminders that its there and that others feel it also. You are not an isolated incident on the planet. Perhaps its time to decorate your guitar?
