Donna - Just get it out and strum it some. Amazing how relaxing it can be
(be sure to turn the amp WAY up). I found a 59' Gibson in an abandoned
storage unit once. I had paid $300 for the storage unit and sold the
guitar that night for $5000. Last week I traded a black powder rifle for a
Washburn DX2000 (limited to 600). I can't play but love to just strum it
some and think I know what I'm doing. Someone should open a restaurant /
bar where people who can't play can at least get together and just strum
along....

You mean a place where every band signed by a major label within the
last 5 years could congregate?

They call those things "concerts" now, and people actually pay to see
them.

Thank goodness for real musical talent like Hilary Duff and Lindsay
Lohan (yes, the both DO have albums out), or we would all have nothing
to listen to.

LOL.....while I'm sure WE would have a great time, I think the object of
opening a restaurant is to actually make money and not drive the regular
customers away.
