I just thought I'd share some photos and quick stories.
First, my band performed on the local college radio station last week. It was a fun experience!
Secondly, we played a show last week after the radio thing that was really fun. I was getting a good feeling from the audience and got a bit carried away. I climbed up on the amp I was playing through and leaped off - in the air I hit the head of my bass on the ceiling, and immediately I starting worying about the guitar and not my landing. I hit the ground, twisted my ankle, and fell into a crumpled heap. I kept playing and pulled myself up to get to the microphone for the conclusion of the song and our set. It was a silly thing for me to do, but it was sort of fun. My ankle is still messed about, but more importantly, maybe, is that I chipped the finish on the back corner of one side of the headstock. It's just a cosmetic injury to the guitar, but it was a bit of a bummer. It's still pretty new (April 2011). But on the other hand, I think some of the coolest guitars are those with character. And, I've always said, I intend to baby the guitar everywhere, except that when I'm on stage, I'm on stage. You Know?
Cheers,
-s.
