DennisM

I don't have the slightest idea whether I ever introduced myself when I joined here some time ago. (Senior moment...)

The name is Dennis Miller, same as the guy on television, but I had the name first.

I'm originally from Kentucky, graduated U. of Louisville in 1972. My wife is from Jamaica, the island, not New York, and we lived there for 6 years in the 70's. My belly attests to her good cooking.

What was then a very good golf game paid for college and for about 9 months after graduation, I was an Assistant Club Pro at Hunting Creek Country Club outside of Louisville. I finally realized I had stars in my eyes and went off to make an honest living. My game today is in no way as good as it once was, but I think I enjoy it more now.

We have two grown kids, a son and a daughter. There are now 3 grandkids who live in Raleigh, NC and we are up there about every other month to see them. Lifting my grandchildren is my exercise program.

I'm the Executive Director of a synagogue in Miami. That's sometimes a 24/7 job and a big emotional roller coaster between helping people who are celebrating something joyful all the way to the opposite end of the spectrum having to help people who are sick and who have just suffered a death in their family.

When I'm not playing golf or working, I probably have a guitar in my hands. I have 16 guitars and yes, I play them all...

Hi and a very late welcome Dennis. What types of guitars do you play?

The ones my wife knows about or all of them? 3 Strats, a Tele, a Peavey Falcon, a P-bass, a Peavey Jazz-Fusion, (like a Gibson 335), a Danelectro, a Martin dread, a Martin 000-15, a Takamine 12 string, a Taylor dread, an Alvarez dread, a Silver Creek OM and a Walden Grand Auditorium. My Baby Taylor is currently living in Jamaica with my son.

Then there is the famous bedpan guitar, a wall decoration my daughter gave me, made of a real hospital bedpan.

I also have a travel guitar, made by Go Guitars. It's serial number 007, the last prototype before they started standard production.

A bunch of the electrics are about to go on the chopping block. I really play a lot more acoustic guitar these days and I've love to sell the electrics to recover the space they take up.
