Hello, I'm Barry.
I live about 30 miles south of Memphis, in northern Mississippi. I'm 43 , been married for 21 years and have a 5 year old daughter.
My father got me interested in guitar at a young age. I played in a lot of garage bands during my youth but never went pro, just an occasional party gig now and then. For reasons still unclear, I pretty much stopped playing altogether in the mid 90's.
So, I'm starting over from scratch.
My main focus in years past was Hard rock/Metal and I still love it, but now I'm ready to explore other areas as well.
Lately, I've been listening to XM channels like Deep Tracks , Cafe and The Loft with great interest.
I am rediscovering so many of the great bands from the 60's and 70's, and my renewed interest in guitar is the catalyst.
I hope to make a few friends and pick up a few nuggets of knowledge during my time here.
By the way, I stumbled into the current Squire '51 thread yesterday and was immediately overcome by GAS :)
Looks like this place is going to be hard on my wallet!

welcome to the party :D
Welcome Barry. The love of guitars never seems to leave us.
Glad to hear your back playing. I like some of the harder stuff myself ... well, I'm 46, it's what used to be the harder stuff. They call it classic rock now. :lol: Welcome!

Welcome to Guitar Noise! Started playing almost a year ago myself at age 44 and loving every minute of it.
I grew up about an hour east of you in Corinth. Been gone for quite a while, but get back once in a while to visit the folks.

I've had a lot of sobering thoughts in my time.
It was them that turned me to drink.
