That's me. Guitar always in my hands, headphones and microphone at the ready. The scenery looks like our part of Canada at night this time of year so, yes it's very close to representing what I look like at any given moment in time. So you'll have no trouble picking me out at our little airport in Kelowna when you arrive Aitch.

The guitar is wrong mind you, Sheena. It should be a Ric 350 or a Strat or maybe my retired SG style Les Paul.

Well, i guess i could recognize you with another guitar... 8-)
The thing is, i've "painted" quite a different picture in my imagination - in other words, i thought you look different...

Oh I see. Well all I can say is that's my corporate South Park image Sheena. The suit and tie etc. Usually my attire is much more casual. I am still a musician at heart and much of the time my roots are fairly obvious. The guitar in hand is always a dead give away.

I didn't mean the clothes, Brian 8-)
You see, sometimes, when i see pictures of Web mates for the first time, i'm quite surprised - i'm always tryin' to imagine what the ones i'm talkin' to look like, the Web is still somehow a new thing to me, "invisible" company still seems strange in a way, and in most cases, the "pictures" in my mind have nothing to do with reality 8-)
So this thread is really cute, it could have also been called "Let's see each other" 8-)

Here's a better one. I discovered a few options that I had not seen before plus I used Photoshop to adjust the guitar image.

The guitar still has three strings. LOL

Haha, here's mine!

Oh, I know the guitar's not my first choice, but I'm just not as adept at photoshop as some, LOL!

The halo is to offset my two vices, Rickenbackers and strong coffee, LOL! If not for those I'd be a perfect angel....though maybe my hubby would disagree....<grin>!

Yeah, well, my halo was taken back when I stopped going to Sunday School at age 10. The minister said something like "... and where the hell do you think you're going with that, sonny!!"

I guess if he hadn't taken it back it would be a shattered mess by now....... Image

It's not that I'm a bad boy, Melissa... I'm just not a good one!

Believe me, Aitch, my halo needs more than a fair bit of polishing at times, LOL! Fortunately it's not something I had to earn....

My halo is so tarnished it looks like a rusty wine barrel ring.

That's why I omitted it. I was afraid of a bolt of lightning from above.
