Hey, welcome, Alex, from a fellow Minnesotan--I'm about 4 1/2 hours north of you in the tourist mecca of Grand Marais. I play on a church worship team, but occasionally do solo gigs when I can get them, LOL! Image

I'm from Valparaiso, Florida. Like Melissa, I really only play as a part of my church's worship team, outside of what I play at home. I'd love to be in a band one of these days, the opportunity hasn't presented itself yet, though.

Hi Alex! I'm in Melbourne, Auatralia. I played in a couple of bands back in the 60s but these days the only bands I get involved with are rubber ones! Image

I remain hopeful, however.......

'Rickenbacker'...what a name! After all these years, it still thrills me.

Texas, Alex, and from the hometown of Buddy Holly. I play in the Dimmers, myself and a couple of old friends. I'd call it a 'band' but that might be stretching it.

Another Texan here, but no band. I don't get to play (practice) enough as it is. My job (the one that pays all the bills) requires about 50% to 60% travel.

Montreal here Alex. Welcome to the show.
The band is Bad Patch (yes, the name relates to one ex-member's patch cord collection). We are all over 40 and do this for fun outside of our day jobs. It works.
