He loved it for a couple weeks, then decided he liked air guitar better. Pretty much as I figured. Back in about '80 I bought a cherry Gibson J45 Sunburst in a hard case. 1964 model I think. Paid 175 for it. The guy had bought it new, plucked it few times, then put it in a closet. Think I learned 2 cords or whatever you call them, then put it my closet. Another son has that one and can actually play it some. Pretty geetar. --Vic I've never had an electric guitar, just acoustic guitars. |

I think of him more as being an organ grinder's monkey... but the best one that ever lived. Well, at least I am "best" at something. Where did "no brains at all" (Loogy) get the idea I was a "guitar virtuoso"? Certainly not from me. I play acoustic guitar - a little. I do like acoustic guitar music, though, when performed by professionals. I suppose that makes me more "refined and cultured" than the Atlanta nitwit.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - And your childish name calling shows just EXACTLY how refined and cultured you are..... Gee, Harry, in all of the music posts you've posted to, how come you never mentioned this before? Are you lobster boating again? |
