Just had to quote Dylan with the title of my first thread. What can I say, I'm hopeless... Those of you who know me might know me as Herr Burgermeister. It's a lot quicker, however, to log in using my given name, so here I'm Joe. For those of you who don't know me, here's a brief bio: My reputation as a hot-shot guitarist extends back to the beginnings of rock & roll itself. On the road and recording with Dale Hawkins by my teens, I became the law of the land around the Washington, D.C., area by the mid-to-late '60s. My use of the Fender Telecaster, using high harmonic squeals in place of feedback and distortion, was part and parcel of rock guitar's vocabulary by the early '70s. A reluctant superstar, I later became more unfocused as my career waned, but my unique stylings remain etched into my best records. Sadly, just when I seemed on the verge of a comeback, I hung myself in a police cell in 1988, after I was arrested on a drunk and disorderly charge. I left behind a number of records which testify that I was a consummate guitarist, capable of tones and techniques that other guitarists only dream of. Thanks to Miss Dee & Rich for the invitation. I'm pleased to be here & will catch up on the rules & learn my way around. I note that discussions of politics are forbidden, but at least I can talk about Akasha's 2nd-favorite subject, sports. That's all for now...
