Hi,

A friend I pick with sometimes told me about Mudcat. Now, that's a friend!!

Been lurking for a bit, jumped into one of the threads briefly.

All the quick minds are a bit intimidating, but the absolute politeness of most people is what keeps me coming back.

I've been trying to pick guitar some since I was a little girl, about 50 years now, I guess. My inspirations were Roy Rogers; an uncle who let me stand between him and the guitar and look over the top, and a very patient friend, who was sure I'd never learn, but tried to teach me anyhow (thanks, Peg).

I drifted into, I guess, Appalachian/Ozarks "folk." As for Roy Rogers -- I never did learn to play guitar effectively while riding a horse at a gallop.

Look forward to reading more insights, silliness, and just stuff.
