Musings on.....a Breedlove Guitar

My new guitar

My love for music has really payed off!  Last week I attended the Horse Feathers show and this weekend I went to the Helio Sequence.  I was entered in a raffle for a Breed Love Guitar.....and I won!  The crazy thing was that I forgot my Horse Feathers ticket and I was so bummed.  The promoter gave everyone ten minutes to go to the ticket office(if they paid online) and get their ticket printed so they would be able to enter.  I was sitting second row center, with no one on either side of me.  I had the strangest feeling when they were drawing the tickets.  I was filled with such a tingling feeling and I just knew that my name was going to be called!  They called it and mispronounced my name... of course!  So psyched!  I was smiling through out the whole concert!  I had gone alone, so I had to share my joy with complete strangers, but I didn't mind.  I could not wait to get home and play it.  It sounds soooooo good!  Finally...a guitar that feels right!  I still don't know what to do with the Goya.  They stopped making them in 1996.   I should probably hold onto it.  I wish Paget would start playing.


The show was great.  Empty Space Orchestra was very interesting and Helio Sequence put on a tight show!

Musings on....the guitar

My daughter was playing with my guitar and I just had to take this pic of her.  She almost looks like she knows what she's doing!  I have always said that in my next life I will be a singer/songwriter and play the guitar.  Right now I can secretly wish that one of my girls will pick up the instrument. I always thought it would be cool to be in a band!  Now I take my online guitar lessons and fulfill my fantasies playing Rockband!  Oh.... to be like Sheryl Crow.

Musings on......guitar

I have rediscovered my guitar. I signed up for online lessons and it is so helpful! My fingers hurt and I need to toughen them up, but I am learning so much! I think I bought this guitar in 1992 in Manchester, VT. I know that the store does not exist anymore. Over the years I have brought it into the shops to see if I could trade it, but the shop guys always tell me that I should keep it. I even videoed myself singing a song! My daughter saw it and told me that the guitar sounded great, but the singing was another story. The honesty!
