Hello! Newbie Here
Posted: Wed Nov 30, 2011 5:23 pmHey everyone!
My name is Bill I'm out in Chicago and I'm 29 years old. I got into Chet in kind of a unique way. My grandfather was stationed in Texas in the late 40s where he first heard "country music" and passed that on to his son, who as also a child of the 60s and a Beatles fan couldn't miss Gretsch guitars and have some sort of influence from Chet. I have a very large collection of Chet records and CDs, some of which were passed down from my Grandfather. I've played guitar since a young age and loved listening to my dad play Chet stuff, but I never really got too into playing Chet style myself. I mostly played Rockabilly and Surf music.
My dad died 10 years ago and for a majority of that time listening to some Chet has been difficult process. Although in someways an incredible healer.
I'm finishing up gradschool this year and all my old bandmates have moved on so I figure now is the perfect time for me to work on some more difficult Chet stuff.
If you see me around the main forums more you'll at least know a little more about me.
