Hi all. My name is Lister and I am an ex-Durban guitar player/musician, wanna-be rocker-bluesman and full time screw up. ? ? ? I have been living in Los Angeles for many years now, having left SA in 1981. I played the LA and Hollywood club circuit for years and years, did session/studio musician work, and also did a bit of touring across the USA when I was based out of Indiana for a year or so. Right now I am concentrating on my home studio where I have a Pro Tools 9 rig, with the Complete Production Toolkit...so it is pretty close to full blown HD. Over all the years I have accumulated a few guitars including 3 basses- a 5 string and 2 fretless 4 strings......my amps are a Marshall JCM 800 with a 4X12 slant cab and a Fender Twin Reverb....amps that sit these days doing nothing in favor of my Eleven Rack which I just love. I just cannot bring myself to sell them. ☹ There are some other amps, a Crate, Epiphone, Pignose and a POD amp sim. Good stuff, lot's of fun when I do get a chance to go in there and goof off. I use a Digidesign 002R as my main recording interface and I have the usual suspects as far as VI's and sample libraries, plug in's and various rack mount hardware etc etc. I trigger my soft synths and sample libraries with a Godin guitar fitted with the Ghost Modular pickup system through an Axon AX 100 MkII guitar to midi converter. It's all stuff I have gathered over many years....there is so much room for improvement but the sheckles don't just fall off the trees so it is a slow process. I try to do the best I can with what I have.....when I have the time. Precious these days. To pay the bills I work in film and TV either as a Best Boy Grip mostly and also as a Gaffer which is my true enjoyment in the industry. Most recently I was on the Fox Television show "24" with Kiefer Sutherland....I was there almost 7 years finishing up as the Best Boy Rigging Grip until the series ended. That's me in a nutshell ?....I do not have time to go into any more at the moment-off to pick up my children at school. It was nice to find this joint and hopefully I will be chatting to you guys soon. Thanks and ttyl.

Highway Chile wrote I hear you about the kids friend. I got married and had mine late in life, so I have two daughters, 10 and 5.

What a nightmare being the only man in the house. That's why I like my PS3 so much. I get those shooter games like COD, Modern Warfare etc and just start killin' shit and blowing stuff up. :woohoo: :dance: ? ? ? ?

LOL after they all are asleep I toss on the headphones and turn all the lights off and lookout! Love when I have a sniper rifle!

I know, I know....should be in the studio. ?
Dirt 3 is on the way... s'all I'm sayin' ?

No driving games for me.....Battlefield 3 baby!!!!! Coming soon.
