Topic: I Spy...A Guitar!
I am drawn to the sight of an acoustic guitar like iron to a magnet. Whether it's walking through an airport and seeing someone else carrying a guitar or while leafing through a magazine and catching a photograph of someone playing or holding one. Or even in movies and television shows, seeing one propped up in the background is of great interest to me. I try to discern make/model, etc and imagine the person who plays it. weird but it is a fascination for me.
A friend of my daughters showed up at the house a few nights ago with his guitar. It was in a nice HSC and appeared to be a 000 or jumbo body. I was entertaining family and could not conveniently break from the conversation to find out more and my curiosity was killing me. My daughter and her friends disappeared into the basement to practice for an open-mike night later that night. Unfortunately I couldn't hear them from where I was sitting nor could I break away. Oh, how I wanted to be a spectator downstairs...or later at the open-mike event but guest come first. Maybe next time.
They played three songs that night: Simon & Garfunkels "Sounds of Silence", something from Nickel Creek? and something else I was not familiar with.
But I digress. Anyone else have a morbid curiosity regarding guitars?
