Wow, I really can’t believe it’s Friday. This week has really flown by, no? I want to say that I appreciate all who have stuck with me, read, participated. Really enjoyed getting to put some faces to names (real and imagined), checking out family photos, videos of songs that have moved us. I’ve enjoyed it all. Thank you!
Time for some make-believe. You have been sitting on Death Row in Texas foreventeen years. You have been convicted of a heinous crime (purchasing a FMIC guitar on eBay while intoxicated, perhaps) and all your appeals have been exhausted. You realize now the error of your ways, but it is too late. Far too late.
Four days before your last day in this world, the Warden comes to your lonely cell. His eyes won’t meet yours OK. Let’s play some make-believe: You have been sitting on Death Row in our great state of Texas for, but he has come to get from you your last meal request. He says you can have two appetizers, three main courses, three sides, three deserts and two beverages. What would you order up under these terrible circumstances? What would you have for YOUR last meal? (I’ll give you my thoughts in reply later on).
In the meantime, for my lunch here today on the outside, I feel like having grilled lamb chops, a Greek salad with lots of feta and olives, a baked potato with butter and sour cream, peach cobbler and strawberry lemonade. Yes I do!
G&L Questions (I know the first isn’t original): You know you can’t take your G&L guitars with you, but if you could, which one would it be and why? More realistically, since you can’t take your favorite G&L guitar or bass with you, who would pass it on to and why? If you could leave a note in the instrument case for the next owner, what would it say?
More G&L Content: I have a confession. Last Saturday night, I pulled the trigger on a new (“in-store demo” – so listed as used) G&L Legacy. According to UPS, today will be “NGD” for me. Unfortunately, I’m also expecting company from Germany and family from the NY area later today, so it may take me a few days to get you “proof of life” pictures, register the new guitar, and to respond to todays LR responses. Please forgive the delay, but I swear, it’s crazy her and getting crazier by the day. I’m so stressed that I actually do not want to get a guitar today – not even a G&L. I don’t have time even to open it.
[Aside: I have enough guitars already so have a deal with my wife whereby I can only purchase one if I sell one that I already have that will cover the cost. As a result, I will (with regrets) bet putting one of my collection up for sale in the coming days, probably my beautiful, mid-90’s Hamer P-90 Special. If you’ve been wanting a guitar like this, keep an eye on the Marketplace where I plan to list it before resorting to eBay.]
Anybody else have some sort of deal with your partner concerning gear purchases?
Thanks again for tuning in. I really enjoyed being your Lunch Reporter this week – as always. I will respond to responses to today’s missive, but it may take me a few days due to circumstances beyond my control. Have a great weekend all and stay cool! - ed
