For some reason I registered here a long time ago and then forgot that I did. I came across this place again by blind good fortune so I think this time I'll post before my senile brain loses track again. Just bought my first Gretsch about 2 months ago and here she is.

Pretty guitar and even better beach!

Welcome (back) Nice guitar !

Nice! Welcome to the addiction!

Wow the beach!, i can imagine myself playing this beautiful guitar at your balcony, really dreamy, so re-welcome

Gotta "Arc up" though

Glad you decided to come back and join the family.

Beachbum, welcome to the GDP. I hope that you enjoy your time there.

Now, I have to ask you, however -- Where exactly are you from? That photo looks like it has the Channel Islands in the background and your profile page suggests that it could be the beach area of my own home town of Oxnard. Is that where you are located?

You're right, Ric. Looks like Anacapa to me. Not sure about being proud to be from Oxnard, though

Who mentioned anything about being proud, giffenf?

Actually, I passed through Oxnard just last week. Drove by Henson's Music and snapped a quick pic to send to Tommy59 to prove to you guys that I actually was there. The funny thing is that Tommy thinks that he was probably inside the store at the very moment that I was driving by. I shoulda stopped.

Ya know, I bought my first guitar there. So, I would probably wax all nostalgic and stuff if I went in there. Probably weep like a girl in the flood of memories.

So, Beachbum is keeping it secret which beach he's a bum at?

sweet! congrats!

welcome back to the GDP.

Welcome back, BB! Don't be a stranger!
