Wire House Rules
I am back home in my humble pad, nicknamed the ‘Wire House’, after moving in with my Mom for six weeks to remodel. I’ve now laid out about $82,000 for repairs, remodeling, furniture and appliances. Much of my belongings are still in boxes as the custom closets will not be installed for two weeks.
My condo is decidedly un-wired right now as my guitar and synth rig is totally disconnected. I’ll plug and play in a spare bedroom in a week or so. I’ve been getting reacquainted with my Martin D-18 for the last two weeks. I do, however, have a new 42 inch Samsung high definition TV in my living room and the NFL playoffs looked mighty fine this weekend.
I saw two concerts in the VIP section of the Hard Rock Live arena this week. The first was a guitar extravaganza with Eric Johnson opening for Jonny Lang. Eric Johnson just may have the finest technique of any guitarist I’ve ever seen and his instrumental compositions are astounding. Jonny Lang can belt the blues with the best of them and is one scorching lead guitarist.
The following night I was treated to Bob Seger who was touring for the first time in ten years. As you can imagine, he played well over two hours of hit after hit after hit of American rockin’ roll. I feel particularly blessed that my friend Rich keeps getting free tickets to these first rate concerts. It makes nine I’ve know seen in the last year for free.
Well, it’s off to connecting my bedroom stereo and putting together a bar stool for the kitchen. I wait for the day when my place is all unpacked and put together, but that is a few weeks away.
