Sorry, had all that to get out of the way while I still tried to remember it. Didn't mean to ignore what you were talking about.
OD, you are culling down your collection eh? Yeah, I'm doing that myself. When you grow up playing guitar, it seems that is all you want to do. Collect guitars. Every time I go back to my Mother's house, I find all these scrap books, posters, pictures, of guitars I collected when I was younger. I have tons of them and then a bunch that I drew. I used to think I was going to be an artist. I sucked, but could draw a pretty damn good Stratocaster. I even have the first FENDER catalogue I ever got. Lusted for a white Strat, just like George Harrison played in Concert for Bangledesh. I spent hours by myself learning that album, and others. That's really how I learned to play. Being left handed, it was hard to find guitars. Ordered a Strat from Fender that never came. So my Mother got me an Ibanez copy of it. Still have the magazine ad where I found out about that one too. LOL! Yeah, I was a guitar nut for a while.
Then as we grow older, they tend to just take up room. I have nine of them. That old white Ibanez, a black real Strat, (Mexican), a black Telecaster, two Taelors, a Martin, the Breedlove, a Yamaha, and a few others with no real names, including an acoustic bass just for kicks. Have a few out there, a Les Paul copy, a Precision bass, and a couple more i don't even know what they are. All WAY TOO MANY! So I am doing the same as OD. Trying to get rid of a few.
And due to a LOT of house construction over the past couple months, you realize how much you relish the space. I am surprised Tina Dee Babe, hasn't had a big bonfire or yard sale. Day ain't over yet.
But it is nice to have some space. Shows you what you can live without. I don't know that I'll ever get rid of all mine, but am trying to sell one that I can't play.
Was glad that you spent time OD, on Justin's song. I thought you took it in a good direction and hope you guys can get something together for it. sometimes it is hard to interact on someone else's story. But I think you did it well there. You have come a long way from those old days. You've learned well.
Kevin and Ott, always good to hear from you guys. What's going on in the outside world there? Nice to know what you guys are doing. I feel its important to everyone putting in elements about what their journey is doing, Shows how much relativity there is going on.
Justin, that link didn't work for me either. Sorry. couldn't get to your song. Let me know if it is somewhere else I can take a look at.
Phil, we are working every few days at getting RiDawn up to speed on all the songs. Bored games is the next up in the rotation. Will actually play it tomorrow night. Every one of these are kind of "live rehearsals." There is something you can't rehearse until you are in front of an audience. We hope to have her CD together before long. But we are not under any real pressure. Just taking it slowly. I like to write them, rehearse them, play them,record them. So this will be a new step toward that. I am hoping she makes it down to Frank Brown and I will get her up to do some there.
RiDawn, would be kind of cool if you gave your perceptions of the show last night. I always like the other viewpoints. Did I hit it or miss something?
A light day today. Waiting to work on the house a bit. Here if you need me.
