April Birthdays 
I'm definitely gonna get one, once I have the funds available to do so! Tried one out at a local music store, after a doctor's appointment this morning, and I had an endorphin high going on for nearly an hour after. As it is, I don't think I'll be selling off too many, if any of the guitars I already have, as I have truly found my musical voice...although a Gibson Les Paul Faded Double Cutaway is still going to be part of that, around the same time I'm able to buy the Peavey Classic 50. The store I was at is a Peavey and Ibanez dealer, so they had an Artcore AG75 and Ibanez JTK2 Jet King hanging on the wall, which is what I played, when test driving the Classic 50, and the Peavey ValveKing 112 before it. After playing the Classic 50, the ValveKing amps are completely off my list of amps to consider...I would only use 1/2 of what is available with the ValveKings, versus the Classic 50. I used ALL of the Classic 50, on the Lead and Normal channels, along with pickup switching on the guitars.
Now that I've tried, and fell in love with the Peavey Classic 50, I probably need to start me a band, as soon as possible. I'm not sure if I need to look for a lead guitar player, along with a bass player and drummer, of if I should just look for a bass player and drumer 'cause with a lot of the jamming that I do, when test driving guitars and now amps, I'm beginning to get an idea that pure surf isn't what I'm looking to create, but surfabilly. The nice thing about it, if I do put together a surfabilly band, sometime this coming year, it absolutely won't matter which guitar or two, I take with me...just grab a couple and go. Oh sure, I'll still probably use specific guitars for recording, but I guess that's why the live sound of some internationally famous bands is different from what's on the album.
From this point, I can see 2007 being a pretty fun year for me, with recording projects and trying to get a surfabilly band together. With one potential insider contact already, and work out a few country, surf and old rock-n-roll covers, I could probably get us at least an anual gig, and with an audience that'll appreciate the music. It's also nice to know I won't have to completely revamp my guitar collection, once I get that Peavey Classic 50.
