Howdy Thought I'd introduce myself... I'm RL Rainwater a guitarhead ...and have been retired  for 10 years now!! Whoa!! That long!!... been playin guitar since the mid 70's main interest are slide and lap steel  styles plus acoustic gtr, Uke and Bass..Also have an interest in building and recording which I'm doing alittle more of the these days. Late 80's through out the 90's I lived in Ireland for 15 yrs and played with some fantastic musicians there and did the festival scene all over the place ..primaliy as a backup player with my little 1950's Lap Steel and reso gtr for acoustic stuff. Im stateside now and have been a long time lurker here at the CBN and really amazed at the building going on here!! as well as the other stuff music recordings etc... I've only built 3 CBG's 2 lap steels  and 1 diddly Bow....There rough but very playable...  Cheers!!! RL
