Just thought I'd say hi, as it's been a VERY long time since I have done much on this site (discussion board says 2011 was my last post). Went through a divorce and moved a couple of times since then. Now that my boy is a bit older and not requiring my full time attention, I'm picking up the philatelic bug again. I hope everyone has been well and look forward to interacting with the community once again.

Anglophile,
I appreciate the invite, but San Jose and Redwood City are quite a haul from Mountain House. I used to belong to Diablo Valley up in Walnut Creek, and even that got to be too much with my work schedule and 1 1/2 hour commute.

Nice guitar you've got. Is that a Gibson Explorer?

@JanSimon - It is, indeed, a Gibson Explorer. I also have an SG and a Les Paul.
@Anglophile - Thanks for the info. I'll be sure to attend at least a couple of those. I've missed WestPex and Filatelic Fiesta. Always a bunch of fun!

Hi Allen;
Welcome back, to another guitarist and music lover.
I was always a big fan of the sixties folk music scene. PP&M, Kingston Trio, The Browns, Pete Seeger, Ian & Sylvia, Chad & Jeremy, Judy Collins, Joan Baez, and many others were my favorites.
I had a 12-string Epiphone acoustical guitar, and it was the only way to get that PP&M sound, which I found intoxicating, to listen to.
My all time favorite movie, has to be "The Commitments", about a bunch of Dublin street kids that tried to form a soul music group.
Keep on jammin'....

I don't play guitar. But just watched an old video of Dire Straits playing Sultans of Swing...Mark Knopfler. Wonderful. Guitar is an amazing instrument.
Welcome back to stamps. I am recently back myself after a couple of decades, collecting Great Britain, Australia and US. Mainly US now, as the Australia and GB open spots in my albums are getting to be in the ridiculous range ($). Not that the US stamps aren't getting that way as well. Sigh. But, 19th century US has my full attention for the time being.
Cheers!

@DavidG - Wow, good to hear from you! I was poking through my Americana collection last night and read through some of our old correspondence on the subject. Fun stuff, good memories!

Hi Allen;
I've always been fascinated by musicians that have their own "sound" that no one else can call theirs. PP&M had it on the twelve string, Chet Atkins had it on the electric guitar, Chuck Mangione on the flugelhorn, and Fats Waller and later Fats Domino on the piano.
I hope that you enjoy our new feature "approvals", with lots of good sellers there.
Just stampin'....
