While we're posting "gig reports"...

[Guitar Centaur]

I was asked to join a band who recently lost their guitar player with gigs on the books. I had 3 weeks to learn 30 songs, so they wouldn't be forced to cancel a gig last Saturday.

 

Well, I pretty much dropped enough clams to make a chowder, but somehow managed to make it through the night, have a great time, and get paid for doing something I love, so I guess the stress of the last three weeks was worth it.

P.S. I'm the ugly lurch in the black shirt on the left.

This guy?

 

 

You seem attractive enough to me.

 

In a manly way of course.

Is that a hockey puck in your pocket??

 

 

Well done. I like your bassist's Jazz. I used to have one like it but traded it fool-heartedly.

My first guess would be a tin of 'baccy.

 

Though in fact I have a bubble-tape (type of kid's bubble gum) plastic round box I keep picks in, that's the same size and shape. I've often wondered if people thought it was chaw.

It's these:

 

 

A hold-over from my smoking days. I used to pop them after a smoke to try to keep my breath from fouling the air of non-smokers I worked with, and got used to them, so I kept on eating them.

I like these 'show reports', I hope they continue.

Lose the necklace.

 

A clam chowder performance is good for keeping the ego in check..

What kind of Godin is that?

 

I played one at a music store on a trip once. It was set up perfect and sounded wonderful for $500.

It's an Artisan TC. I don't think they've made them for some time.

It originally sold for $1500, and I traded a speaker cabinet for it.

 

Best guitar I've ever owned, but the resale value on them is {censored}.
