Reg Beardsley took degrees in English and geology and then spent his career as a geophysicist in the oil industry. Devoid of any musical talent, it has taken him 45 years to reach the point of being able to improvise freely on guitar over a limited range of styles. He still has not built one, but has repaired a few and has several awaiting attention. In part the delays are caused by having far too many interests, a 5000 volume technical library, and a vast array of tools for working wood, metal, and electronics. His MS thesis was written on the nepheline syenite in Pulaski county Arkansas called pulaskite.
