Music
Not in the mood for new music lately, I've been on a nostalgia kick revisiting a lot of bands from the early 2000s when I was in high school- A lot of bands I wrote off as juvenile but now sort of appreciate more: Blink 182 , Smashing Pumpkins etc. Also old college staples like Dinosaur Jr. (but they're older than that.) Most recently I was on a big Pavement/Steven Malkmus kick. It's been a while since I found really new music I like and I'm comfortable for the time being sticking with what I know. Don't know how long that will last.
Amp
Have tended not to use one lately, I have an audio interface I use with GarageBand to record, and play through a PA monitor. It actually sounds... Good.
Along the line of my amp search, Don Rich, Buck Owens, Dwight Yoakam and Merle Haggard have been on the Itunes play list most days.
Music: I don't really listen to the radio anymore. I go through phase. I was listening to Bob Marley for months, then shifted to the Police for a few months, then to Tom Petty, then to 21 Pilots, then to Paul Williams (specifically the Phantom of the Paradise soundtrack) and Jeff Wayne's Musical version of the War of the Worlds. It's kind of an eclectic mess really. I used to sing, and so a lot of the music I like was formerly music I liked to sing. My range is all messed up now (stupid aging), so that explains some of it.

First G&L
My first is my '87 SC3 . Found it on eBay in December, no one bid on it and it was a local pickup (Culver City anyway.) Pics were dreadful, you could barely tell what it was- But it's actually in great condition minus a lot of belt rash on the back. Best vibrato in the world as far as staying in tune. Basically I couldn't turn down a Fullerton, Leo-era G&L for under $400 .
First G&L: Mine was an American 93 Legacy. I traded it this year (with no regrets) for a brand new Taylor 214 deluxe. If I hadn't had a Tribute Comanche that I absolutely love, I probably wouldn't have traded it away, but I really wanted a new Taylor. I ended up buying another Tribute as well (to make me feel better (blueburst ASAT Special, sounds great!) about my loss). Whenever I play out, I am almost always playing the Comanche.
My first G&L was a black Asat Classic Signature. Was my last purchase prior to getting married, so G&L kept my sanity prior to marriage. The madness has continued for 26 years. Both marriage and G&L purchases!
