Male, Alaskan, 32 years of use...runs great, body ok...
Heh. I play dang near anything with strings, but my latest obsession is Bluegrass Mandolin. I can't sing and play at the same time, so I choose not to sing, which is probably a good thing. I don't play in a band, don't really plan on playing in a band down the road, as I like the freedom to play with whomever will have me.
The weather sucks here. Par for the course.
Alaska provides many opportunities to play music, as there is nothing else to do all damn winter long. It has been said on occasion that I live in "a quaint little drinking town with a music problem"...
