If you don’t play some Robert Johnson, they look at you like you stole something.
More Harvest Goodness.
Went to a Blues Guitar workshop with Colin Linden. This prompted me to want to put light strings on my acoustic guitar (been using mediums) so that I can finger pick more easily. With that in mind we went to the music store. While we were there I bought a new amplifier. Just like that. Going to guitar stores with Jamie is always a good time.
Ah, the infectious air of the harvest festival. Last year it prompted me to buy a guitar, so I guess this year I actually saved some money. Except, that rationalization doesn’t work because someone else paid for the guitar (thanks Aunt Marg!). Try this rationalization instead: it’s a tube amp (my old is solid-state) and it makes me sound like BB King.
We saw Redeye Mojo, who were decent, and Fruteland Jackson another time. He’s awesome. It was during his introduction to “Dust My Broom” that he uttered the line I borrowed for the title of this post.
New Amp Pics!
The new beast.
It’s an Epiphone, like my guitar. Yay brand loyalty.
More home-made Epiphone promotional material.
I am playing very quietly because it is midnight.
Jamie’s guitar and amp. Mine is prettier.
He innocently said “Hey, we should try out that amp…”
Jamie’s quote and Jamie’s picture totally do not match up.
That’s not what he said and you know it!
Good luck getting the stains out of the carpet.
Well, I did say it, just not within seven hours of that picture being taken.
It’s sweet how Ian thinks I said it ‘innocently’ though; what a naïf!
