A Fine Guitar Is Like A...

Do you know that commercial on TV where the wife turns to the husband and says something like, "You're right. We need a new T.V." and the Queen music kicks in and the husband stands up with a look of exultant disbelief? Well something like that happened the night Liz turned to me and said. "We should get a guitar."
Needless to say, I jumped on that one and a guitar was purchased within the week. We went for a classical acoustic made by Samich. It was cheap but still has a nice tone...kind of crisp and precise (mahogany body as opposed to rosewood). Anyway, it's fun to play again, and it's cool that Liz is learning to play as well.
Aside from that, I must say the guitar is bringing out a whole new side of me...the freaky hold the guitar in strange sensual ways in front of your canned goods side of me...as you can see in the pictures below.





Wait, that last one isn't me...yet.

ALRIGHT!! Don't stop the rockn'! I have found that you really get substancially better when you actually own a guitar. I need to get mine out more.

I bet Prince would look even more cool if he were standing next to canned food. Poor guy.
