So much for keeping a regular blog going *rolls eyes*

Anyway, I've now had my license for nearly a fortnight and I'm loving it! Really getting confident at heading off out on my own and just going for a drive. It's funny, when I was 17 (when I became legal to apply for my provisional license) learning to drive seemed so pointless. Guess I was too busy gigging and trying to get laid. Musicians huh?

I'm also tentaively on the look out for a band to join. I really can't be arsed to join a bunch of young guys hoping to "make it". I've always been too cynical to seriously work in that kind of environment. I doubt I'd be too good at accepting the corporate cock anyway. So if anyone knows a bunch of guys (or girls) looking for a guitarist who just want to rockout on a Friday night gimmie a headsup!

Family wise, mum and dad are now in the process of moving back to England. On Monday the decision was made that Grandad Weal was too badly affected by his stroke to sensibly come home. It was with a lot of sadness that we decided the best thing for him would be for us to look for the best nursing home we could find. Hopefully as close by as possible.

You can come over to Indy and jam with me!

Bit of a drive through I'm afraid :-)

What kind of guitar do you play? What about equipment? I'm curious.

At the moment I'm using a Les Paul Standard through a Carvin Classic combo which is a 30w if I recall correctly. Looking into getting a new amp actually. The Carvin's ok, but it's got no balls to it. I'm after something with a bit more grunt when I give it some welly.

Wow Tommy, i'm pretty sure that thing'll make you go crazy. I've played through one of those - real nice.

I'm playing through a Peavey classic 30, with a Crate GFX120. Never really thought I'd actually buy a crate, but it turned out to be a relatively small 2x12 amp with nice distortion and smooth cleans. No hassle with the tubes like the peavey either.

Play with a Schecter C-1 Classic. Really enjoy that...
