Howdy campers and a Happy Halloween to ya' all!
Lunch today - Candy of course, with maybe an apple.
G&L TOPIC What G&L guitar are you on the edge of getting but just haven't or can't pull the trigger, and why not?
Two fall into this category for me.
1. ASAT Semi-hollow with F-Hole - only because other ASAT's have been on a higher priority, and I have always felt that I would bang and crack the wood at the opening. Although I am sure it is sturdy enough to handle any "abuse" I would dish out.
2. An SC-3 or Skyhawk - the main reason I haven't grabbed one of these is it is not an ASAT
ASAT Semi-hollow with F-Hole Dream guitar here!
Non-G&L TOPICSo, it's the day sugar junkies dream of and I fall into this particular category, much to the chagrin of my dentist and waistline.
I am and have always been a fan of Halloween. Since a kid to now everything from carving pumpkins, putting together a costume, trick or treating (as a kid and taking my kids around the neighborhood) to putting up decorations outside have been a fun thing for me. (mine and my sons pumpkins below - shameless promotion
, will post full display tomorrow) Not sure of this years costume, probably Dr Feelgood - scrubs, my kids Dr stethoscope, and fake needles. Kudos go to my oldest daughter and some friends who dress dress up for high school. Last year it a T Shirt with LIFE written on it and she walked around handing out Lemonhead candy - i.e.
Life giving you lemons and making lemonade. This year it's a T Shirt with BLESSING written on it and she is wearing a mask (Lone Ranger style) i.e.
A Blessing in disguise. Her teachers last year loved the idea, will see how this year goes.
How about you and Halloween, do you jump into the deep end or just tip your toes in and grab some candy when you can?
Music TOPICGotta go with concerts today, since I have been to a couple of great ones in the past month.
Last Thursday in Chicago saw Marillion, "big fan" here. I have mentioned Steve Rothery and his playing before, he was as good as always. They played the Vic Theatre, small venue but cool vibe. Bass player Pete Trewavas had some fun and came out after a break wearing a Chicago Cubs play off T-shirt to much applause. Another great player John Wesley opened.
About three weeks ago saw Kansas with my daughter, the same Halloween fan.
Another great show. Ronnie Platt, the new singer looks like an older version of Steve Walsh and even sounds exactly like him! They have a new album that sounds very good. (if ya like that kind of stuff) We sat on first row loge seating to get full view and the sound here was sweet. Ronnie Platt even made a visit to our section. Cool surprise. My daughter took a video of Dust in the Wind I will try to post as well.
Dream Theatre coming in December with my son!
Anyone been to or going to see a band soon?
You all have a "rocking" safe and happy Halloween!
