Since I post here occasionally:
Stefan, 60
Married, two grown up kids, one girl, and one boy, who study music at university and is addicted to death metal.
Gothenburg, Sweden
I was an associate professor in Theory of Science at the university for many years, but have now gone back to clinical work as an anaesthesist
I´m very much into wine and cooking.
Hendrix was a great influence in the 60s, as was McLaughlin in the early 70s. Later the German avantgarde scene with Brötzmann, Mangelsdorff and Hans Reichel has been very important
I had a lot of guitars, Gibsons, Fenders and Hagströms, in the early-mid 70s, but decided early to keep only those I played every day. Now I have 4 electrics, a Les Paul-SG -61, a Gibson Howard Roberts Fusion -97, a Godin Artisan ST-1 -91 and a Yamaha SA2200 -05. Amps, I´ve only owned Fender amps with 6L6 tubes - probably they give the clear sound I like; Bassmans, a Music Man SD50 (made by Leo), and the last years a Blues Deville that I´ve modded with NOS tubes.

I've developed a little arthritis in my wrist and the acoustics are getting a bit difficult for me so now days it's electrics only.
