Q1:  Where did you username come from? My dog was a top one.

Q2:  Where in the world/country are you? Back in the UK after 13 years in the middle east.

Q3:  What's your main musical ambition? To practice more, to gig more, to jam more, to write "the album".

Q4:  Your "best" bit of gear - just the one? I love gear but I'm a reverse snob and there's nothing I couldn't live without. I do love my Mesa Boogie Mark V, it's just too loud for real life.

Q5:  Your #1 ever track - again, just the one? Well, it's a bit impossible. Um, maybe the first song I remember hearing as a tot, Your Song by Elton John?

cprice2437

1.  I was the 2437th cprice to get an AOL email account back in the day.....I ma Clive in real life
  2.  Dorset, UK

  4.  Best bit of gear - my 1978 Yamaha SF1000 but the gear room is full now (maybe just one more guitar?)
  5.  Best Track - impossible to choose, but maybe "Solid Air" by John Martin or "Throw Down the Sword" from Wishbone Ash (the Live Dates recording)

WafflesOnHorseback

Q1:  Well most obvious usernames are taken so I was eating some tasty honey-infused waffles as my weekly dessert treat whilst watching the Sopranos episode featuring the horse (Pie-O-My) so it inspired my random username. Come to think of it Pie-O-My would have been much better. Duuuh.

Q2:  The jolly old Midlands.

Q3:  To keep making music until they cart me off.

Q4:  Several years ago I had a dobro made for me by the very talented Colin Keefe. Looks/sounds great - and has a snakewood fingerboard!

Q5:  Barry Gray: Theme tune to UFO

GibboDen

Morning all, new member here - stumbled upon this forum after searching the net for R6 and R7s and Goldtops in general as looking to buy one (will create a WTB thread shortly).

Q1:  Where did you username come from? My name's Den and although I'm also a fender fan, my fav guitars are Gibsons (Les Pauls)

Q2:  Where in the world/country are you? London (east)

Q3:  What's your main musical ambition?

 After playing in "original bands" for most of my life and being out of it post pandemic, I'd like to record and release the latst batch of tunes I've been working on and get a new band together to gig/work on more stuff.

Q4:  Your "best" bit of gear - just the one? 

1997 Les Paul standard (Honeyburst) - owned from new (worked 7 days a week when I was at college to pay for it!...)

Q5:  Your #1 ever track - 

Difficult question.. maybe Fell on black days by Soundgarden...

Rog

I've been lurking in the shadows for a while and it's time to say hi.
Q1 Username elsewhere is Jolly Rog, but that seems to have been taken so I was surprised to see that Rog was still available.  Where have all the other Rogers gone?
Q2 Originally from South Essex, now in North Suffolk...roughly nowhere central.
Q3 Gave up the day job in the late seventies to form a prog rock band.  Due to bad timing and lack of talent, achieved my lowest adult weight. Decided to grow up and failed at that too.   Music still on my mind most of the time. Ambition to keep playing and learning as long as I can and maybe put some up to date stuff on You Tube to show that the intervening years were not completely wasted. 
Q4 Currently a Furch Rainbow, which was custom made with a narrow neck for my small increasing arthritic hands.
Q5 I don't think I would be allowed to get away with all of Supper's Ready by Genesis, so I will go for Montana by Frank Zappa.

Faye

Q1. Faye is a nickname based on a phonetic contraction of my first and last names. 

Q2. I live in the Peak District, where the best pubs are. 

Q3. Want to get back to gigging my original band regularly again, writing and playing new stuff.

Q4. My '03 '61 Reissue SG with BKP Mississippi Queens, wired for master volume only. Played it so much I've more or less merged with it. 

Q5. Talk Talk - Eden

@cprice2437; @WafflesOnHorseback @Rog @GibboDen @Faye welcome to the board. Just pitch in it’s a very friendly and helpful place (apart from maybe politics section!) although can be bad for your free time and bank balance.  

Rog

Good morning Munckee and everyone else.  Thanks for the welcome.  I'm really enjoying the site.

Thanks! Can you tell me how to see notifications from quoted posts? I've had a notification for yours, but not any others, which makes it difficult to keep up with conversations. Ta!

Sorry if I'm being thick - does that only work on desktop? I'm not seeing those options from my phone.
