What A Day!

So a couple amazing things happened. I went to Fantasy of Flight in Lakeland which is pretty much like airplane Disney Land. On the way home we stopped at Guitar Center. "Great! I will just run in, get the strings I need and get out" I told my mommy. Well like a kid in a candy store I got kind of distracted and my mom wasn't helping with her pointing everywhere like an air traffic controller. I have wanted a new acoustic for a while. Not that mine is real bad (actually its a lot better now with new strings on it) but it is a cheap starter guitar and an upgrade would be really nice. Especially a Spanish nylon string guitar...I have been drooling over them ever since I had lessons with my flamenco-playing teacher. Low and behold I got drawn in to the "Acoustic Barn" and started looking at such guitars. Oops I slipped and fell and love with this handcrafted Rodriguez...price tag says a grand. Why do I have to have such good taste? Anyway I got out with strings, Incubus sheet music, and a free Guitar Center catalog. Who is in this catalog? Señor Rodriguez expensive pants and an ad for a Eric Clapton and friends guitar festival in Chicago (friends being John Mayer, BB King, and Sheryl Crow just to name a few). You guys know my mom is crazy right? Just in case you didn't she is buying the Rodriguez (although I am at least pitching in $500 to her dismay) and we are off to Chicago for a very special weekend in July.
