Pick Me!
In Columbus for work, I stopped at Little Brother’s to get Decemberists tickets. It was about 2:15 and the place was just opening up. It was bright, clean, didn’t smell smoky or boozy, and very empty. It looks like a nice little venue. And I didn’t have to pay Ticketbastard extra charges for once. I think I’ll try and videotape that show, and make a DVD for the Brigadiers. I do love all my Decemberists bootlegs, but I love the videos the most.
Now, I’m in Cincinnati for a work conference. It’s somewhat interesting, I must say, and I got a better hotel than last time (free broadband!), plus my muso friends are here. Maybe I can jam with Richard?
Yeah, right!
If he wants to play only CAGED Em Am F and few other minors and 7ths.
There is a nice guitar store up the road. That's where I got that nice soft suede strap for my Washburn. It's so soft, I just want to rub it on my cheek. But now I'm all strapped up, so I can get some cool picks or maybe a 90° plug cable for my Rogue, so it can sit in the stand without the cord getting in the way. But then, when a plug in is it turns on the preamp, so I’ll go through 9 volts faster. I did go ahead and get a rechargeable, so we’ll see how that goes. I saw a brand new Fender acoustic-electric with the exact same Fishman Classic 4, so it must not be total crapulence. I am still debating whether or not to replace the so-called Martin strings it came with. They’re just so much heavier (like .01 or 2!) than I’m used to. I just get so much buzzing cuz I can’t keep the strings down evenly for certain chords. So, I either get used to it or get some extra light GHS strings (I like them!). Calluses aren’t the problem. I got calluses up to my elbows now!
