The Car I Drive: 2010 Chrysler Town and Country minivan. White.



Last Book I Read: Finishing "Crescent Dawn" by Clive Cussler.



Last Movie I Saw In A Theater: "Star Trek: Into Darkness" in IMAX 3D. Pretty cool.

( o ) ( o )





Famous Deceased Person I’d Like To Chat With: I have three: Winston Churchill has always fascinated me. General George Armstrong Custer and Amelia Earhart are the other two. Why? Because I just want to know what happened.



Last Piece Of Gear I Bought: I just bought a 2012 Gibson ES-335 in Vintage Sunburst last week. It has a repaired headstock break, but is otherwise in great condition. Plays perfectly. Beautiful guitar. Oh, and a set of Schaller Straplocks were included in the deal.



I’d Run Into My Burning House To Save My: (assume family and pets are safe) Well, guitar-wise, probably one of my Martin acoustics: The DC Aura, the HD-28V or the new D-18--all great guitars, and I could maybe make some money busking, if I had to.

But the smart thing might be to grab Miss Leslie's computer and save her business!



If I Weren’t Human, I Would Be A: (animal) An Orca. Killer whales live a long time, in family groups, and basically eat fresh salmon. Every day! And no natural predators.



My Favorite Ethnic Food Is: I love all kinds of food (and my waistline shows it!), so this one is really hard for me. I think I would probably choose Italian, but I love Indian food as well. Good thing about the USA, we have so many choices!



I Played My Guitar _____ minutes today. Haven't touched it yet, but will probably be noodling for at least an hour on the sofa.


Have fun!

Famous Deceased Person I’d Like To Chat With: John Coltrane



Last Piece Of Gear I Bought: An Arturia Minibrute analog synthesizer, during a Memorial Day sale. The price was right, and the delivery date for my inbound Moog keeps getting pushed back by the dealer, so I had to jump on it to satisfy my synth GAS.

If I Weren’t Human, I Would Be A: (animal) An osprey. The diet of raw fish might get old, but it would be nice flying over the water all day.

I Played My Guitar _____ minutes today. No guitar today, but I managed to get in about half an hour of synth before my wife started complaining. I'm still figuring out the various filter settings, so she got "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" a couple of dozen times as I tweaked knobs and sliders.
