    Cool From Triabunna

    My first pit bull kit has just arrived ...eventually I hope it will look and sound like a Gibson 125 , but at the moment I am somewhat overawed by the project.

    Anyway I'm Steve Mars, an old bloke, nowadays an artist, but in the past (long past) used to be known as a drummer but have been an aspiring guitarist for just far too long.

    Anyway, once I stop being scared I am looking forward to the project, but suspect I will be researching this site very extensively before I actually start.

    Oh, and for those that don't know Triabunna is where you catch the ferry to Maria Island.

    Hey Zandit there are 3156 members on this forum so technically 5 Tassie members is 0.158% is a much better figure haha

    Come on there must be more that 5...I met one in my gallery last week, up to his third build, and I have a mate outside Deloraine having issues with his first...so I wonder what the real number is.

    haha Steve it's only a guess there maybe more than 5 Taswegians on the forum.
    The number has certainly increased since Zandit joined
