Now That I Have A Guitar, Call Me “August Rush”

I received my one cent guitar in the mail today, and no, it wasn’t a scam. The guitar is admittedly a piece of shit that was probably made in about one total hour of work. I have not yet tuned it so I don’t know what kind of sounds it is going to make but let’s just say I don’t have my hopes up.

Regardless of the quality of my instrument, now that I have one I will immediately become the next great virtuoso! Having wasted $8 on the new “feel good movie of the season”, August Rush, I now know all it takes is an annoyingly wispy attitude towards life and a Fagan-esque mentor to become the world’s next Mozart. Seriously, did anyone actually get through that movie without throwing up all over the middle-aged women crying in front of them?

Speaking of musical genius, if you were at the Canopy Club last night you saw the first showcase of Brian McGovern’s project Green Ghost Red Ghost!

The show was fun and Brian has an excellent repertoire of songs ranging from GGRG originals to Saturday Looks Good to Me covers! Anne Rufa was excellent on trumpet and without the help of guest Thomas Lowery the show could not have gone on.
