Peace Day 2010
My friends, before I can tell you all about my wonderful gig this past evening, I must digress and apologize for the tone of this post. You see, of late, my wife has been relentlessly renting what Netflix calls “British Drama With Strong Female Leads”. I’m afraid these movies have had a lasting impression on my mind and, thusly, have affected my speech.


It was a splendid time and I only wish you could have been there to share it with us (thank you to those who were there)!
This would not be a proper ckyoung music blog post without mention of gear. I used my trusted Larrivee. Although I had been practicing and intending to make use of my newly purchased Martin, unfortunately, I found out late that I was without my LR Baggs Acoustic DI pedal which I was planning on using to help shape the sound of the Martin since the Martin does not have an on-board active preamp. It was most fortunate that I had remembered to bring the Larrivee as a backup. I plugged it in directly into the board and made good use of it’s pre-amp controls! I don’t know what I would have done without it!
But I do hope someday soon I’ll find the opportunity to use the Martin in a live situation and hear it roar proudly. In fact, of late, I start to wonder of what use do I have of the Takamine. It seems so thin and pale in comparison. It should consider itself lucky that it remains to be the easiest acoustic guitar to play in my arsenal.Oh, I hope I do find that DI pedal soon! It is so useful. I’m not sure if I can survive long without it! Time will see…
Once again, I must sign off. Thank you for keeping with me. I do so enjoy our visits.
And please do not be weary. I promise I will post a guitar lesson in due time.
Peace to you all!
