This used to be a daily thing, writing these blogs. It went with the morning coffee. Somehow I got away from it. The coffee is still there, but blogging has been replaced by an array of computer games: Wordle, then Spelling Bee, and finally Lumosity.
Wordle is a Facebook thing. There is a group of us folks who post our daily scores . It's all very sportsmanlike, with none of that one-upsmanship that sometimes rears its ugly head. Back in the days of daygig, I introduced Sudoku to the natives. There was one guy who'd always monogram his games, and leave it in the breakroom for all to see. Oy gevalt. I never got around to telling him I gave everybody different puzzles.
Music news. This is a time of stuff breaking down. I have a digital camera that's starting to go haywire. It's what I use to make my YouTube videos. When I try to make a video, it shuts down before I'm done. It's a Canon Powershot. Very replaceable, but maybe time to move on.
The silver lining in this cloud is that shorter videos will probably appeal more to listeners by virtue of the fact that they're now more compact, and don't tie up as much of the listener's time. We'll have to see how that plays out.
And one of my guitars is now in need of repair. It's an Epiphone ES-335, sunburst. The one I play most these days. Every so often, the jack gets messed up and the bolt and washer have to be reattached.
And while I'm there, I have an Ibanez classical electric that needs to be re-strung. It's been sitting around here for years and years. I used to record with it and even play a few gigs. Pretty sure the guitar tech who's fixing my Epiphone ES will be able to re-string a nylon string guitar.
Looking forward to adding that guitar back to my array of soundz , and maybe even making a couple music videos with it. Not a great picture, but it's all I've got for now.
A better pic of the ES. Got one in red as well, and even an Epiphone Coupe. I don't have an extensive collection by any means, just a few I've accumulated along the way. I also have a Tele, and a few more ES style guitars, as well as a solidbody or two. Again, they just add up over the years.
So here, finally, is a new blog. Thanks as always for stopping in and reading. Not much for reading matter, but a few pics of guitars. And something to listen to. I have no idea what that'll be, but something nice. Much love, whoever-reads-this. More later.
