Junkie

I have many things of which I am a junkie:

Jodi
Lightning
Music
Golf
Geography

and Guitar.  

I know things about guitar and guitar players that people shouldn't know.  Like what guitar Jimmy Page used to record the famous solo in Stairway to Heaven: It was a Fender Telecaster, not, as some would mistake, his trademark Gibson Les Paul.  Or what the difference is in a tube amplifier compared to a transistor amplifier.  I am the one who goes to a concert and stares at the stage, not at the people, but at their guitars.  Like how sweet is this one?
So while I was playing tonight and listening to my daughter sing into my microphone, she was literally singing absolute wacky lyrics, I had to catch myself,  I was loving it so much.  I could have played all night while she sang.  She, by the way, is an incredible singer.  I will have to post some of her more amazing performances.  

I decided to let you know that I am a guitar junkie.  Whether playing, watching, listening, or holding.  I love guitar.  There, I said it.  I have a problem.

But it doesn't necessarily lead me to bad things, I mean, how do you think I got Jodi to marry me?  

By playing her "Every Rose Has Its Thorn" on our first date, that's how.

Oh Brandon... you're too funny. I would love to hear you play the guitar! Being a "guitar junkie" is not a bad thing, ya know. There are worse "junkies" in the world.. like the maybe "bagpipe junkies"????
