_looks around_ Looks like we got some foreign invaders. Still, it’s just Alabama and South Carolina. They’re hardly even states… ---

Like **FairyChatMom** , I play a little acoustic guitar (strummed chords and a little fingerpicking.) I play the fiddle (badly) and piano (enough to get by!) **Lyllyan** , that’s me waving back from Duluth! We just got back from the Peachtree Road Race (my S.O. ran, I just cheered.) Only bad thing was the car had a flat tire when we got back, but I’m an experienced tire changer, so that was no real biggy either! Happy 4th of July! ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by whiterabbit \* > \*\*I lived in Augusta for six years, until this January. You couldn’t pay me to go back, but a former Georgia Doper checking in here anyway. \*\* Yeah, I left Atlanta a year ago August 3 after about 2.5 years there - I admit to being glad to leave, and I know that it’s one of the places I won’t be looking for a job come next spring. I do make it back occasionally to see friends, and it’s not a bad place, if I’m just visiting. ---

I have a 5 string blue grass that I never learned how to play. But I can hum dueling banjos! I’ve been trying to leave Atlanta (Norcross) for 3 years now, but I’m finding the escape difficult. I’m originally from Ft. Lauderdale and I’d like to get back to the water…Ohhh sugar daddy??? ---

I also took a look at your guitar on the **Musicians Friend** website. Hoowhee! That is one expensive lady! You sure you wanna take her out of the house? 😉 You’re more than welcome to play one of mine if you want. They may not be as high-maintenance as yours, but they wanna be played and tend to get jealous if I spend too much time with any one of their “sisters”.😃 Q ---

They even had a pretty decent SFF selection when I went. ---
