<![CDATA[Hello fellow guitar lovers,]]>My name is Rodger; I live in Norman, Oklahoma, with my wife Jenny, our two blue heelers, and our pound puppy. I'm a retired band director who has taught instrumental music in Okla public schools for 25 years. I'm also a Vietnam Veteran, USMC, I know, sort of a strange combo. Although the guitar was my first love, it always seemed to get seconds in my musical life. I was the kid in the HS band that the director "used" when he needed an instrument played. I was a tenor sax player in our University Jazz Ensembles. Then, teaching took ALL of my time. So when I retired, it was guitar time. I have a strong theory background and am doing my best to catch up on guitar technique. I play a lot. I learned of Emil through a luthier in Ardmore Ok who builds Travis guitars (check them out). What a fantastic talent and teacher we've all found. I just joined today. It's 1 AM here, and I plan on listening to a couple more lessons. So..... I'm grateful, thankful, overjoyed, and thrilled to have discovered this community. I hope to hear a lot of great players here. Thanks, keep the spirit!
