last night i went to Middleton's Music to get some more picks (guitar picks). it's probably been atleast a couple years since i've been in there, but i like that place 'cause it's smaller than Guitar Center and people leave you alone :) Guitar Center is fun to go to once in awhile though, just for kicks and giggles (and to see the Taylor guitars, since Middleton's doesn't carry any...sad).
so i walk in and they've remodeled, and i find a sign that says "acoustic guitars in here" next to a doorway. i know i just went to get picks but i couldn't help myself - i entered "the acoustic room". ahhhhh. anyone who loves anything about acoustic guitars can relate to the feeling i had when i walked in there. utter happiness, glee, giddyness. here i was, the only one in the room, with tons of acoustic guitars hanging on the walls and sitting on stands, all facing me - and all tuned. no, there weren't any Taylors among the masses, but that's okay (especially since i knew there were 2 beautiful Taylors waiting for me to play at the Elyea's :) although jeff's has a broken string...sad).
man i love guitars. i walked around the entire room and looked at all the guitars, picking up and playing a couple of 'em. i saw a lot of Washburns, which will always be a favorite of mine because that was the first guitar i ever played (josh's 1st one, the green one...that got busted by the youth group :( ). that's the kinda of guitar i wanted when i went to buy my 1st real guitar (my very first guitar was a classical guitar...and it wasn't a very good guitar. but that's okay, i have a better one now). but instead i got a Samick, which is actually made by the makers of Washburns.
eventually i had to leave the acoustic room. i picked out some new picks, handed over my dollar for 'em, and headed to the Elyea's to try them out on one of the Taylors.
last night i actually drempt about the acoustic room. except all the guitars were gone and there was just a couch. what a scary dream!!!
and so ends my story. as well as my break time here at work.
keep it real.
