Today is my 35th birthday. I'm sitting here watching "Andy
Griffith" on TVland - (It's a good one Bill, a season one episode
where Andy runs against Ellie for City Council.) Eating pizza, and
reading about what I should be buying for my next guitar. Which
Ibanez should I get? Am I old enough yet, or do I have to wait
till I'm 40. Ha! ;-) when I was 20, all I wanted was an Ibanez
Les Paul (I knew I couldn't afford a real gibson) and a Marshall
half stack. I still have the Ibanez! Never got the Marshall,
though.
Anyway, because of the day, I have been doing a lot of self
reflection. I guess my point is that we all do things in our lives
that seem like a good idea at the time, but we look back and
think "what the hell was I thinking?" Will I still enjoy surf in
ten more years? Will I think the guitar world still revolves around
Fender gear? Will I still like "Andy Griffith"? Will I think our
band the Aquasonics looked sharp in our matching racing pit shirts?
I suspect I will, but maybe not. Will I play guitar the same way
in 10 years, NOT A Chance. it will evolve, like DP says. I hope I
make the right choices in the future, but I might make a few "what
the hell?'s" Lets all hope I never make a video with Stevie Ray
Vaughan and I have big 80's metal hair.
Is there a point in this? I dunno....
