Happy Friday!
Lunch was going to be left over fettuccini with a salmon, dill, capers and cream sauce. Opened the refrigerator this morning and found that someone already ate these leftovers. So lunch will be something from the cafeteria at work. Probably a sandwich, side salad, and some sort of beverage… The sandwiches are actually pretty decent in the cafeteria.
G&L Topic
Several other brands offer quite a bit of merchandise to bolster the marketing of their brands. G&L merchandise is pretty limited. Last I looked there was few t-shirts and hats. To be fair, there might be more currently. I’d love to have so G&L merchandise. Some items that I think would be sweet: a “Real One” hoodie, G&L Dickey’s style work shirt, travel coffee cup, bar stool, and lighted sign. I’d also love to have G&L calendar. A co-worker has couple guitar calendars at his desk each year. Usually he has a PRS Custom Shop calendar and a vintage guitar calendar. Each month I stop buy his desk to check out the guitars of the month. G&L makes so many beautiful guitars, I would think it would be easy to get a collection of 12 photos to produce calendar each year.
What merchandise would you like to see and would be willing to purchase?
Non G&L Topic
My family is getting together with some friends this weekend so that the kids can bake a decorate cookies. This particular friend makes the best gingerbread cookies. I’m not a huge gingerbread fan, but her gingerbread is just awesome. Her cookie is specifically one of my favorite holiday cookies. What are your favorite holiday cookies?
Music Topic
Originally, I was going to ask what your favorite or most impactful song lyric, but I’m going to leave that for another day. I want to work out my story a little more and better frame the question. While thinking about lyrics several of them were coming from one album. Lou Reed’s New York to me is one of the finest musical works produced. The album tells a story from start to finish, each song being like its own chapter advancing you through the story. The story is filled with commentary and judgment, hope and frustration, determination and call to action, and resolution. At times it is uncomfortable, but uncomfortable in a good way (if that makes sense). It is a relevant today as it was in 1989. The song Dirty Boulevard dives into commentary, judgment, and hope. I hope you enjoy this “chapter” from Lou Reed’s New York. And I’d encourage, if you haven’t, give the album a listen from start to finish.
What album do you find powerful, meaningful, significant, or revolutionary? Why does it resonate with you?
Cheers and have a good weekend, Dan
