On vacation last week, I told my wife that since we were in Anaheim, there was a guitar shop that I wanted to visit to check out gear. With a slight sigh she replied, “Are you ever going to stop buying guitars? You already have seven.” My reply was simply this: “Nope. And by the way, I only have three that are actually worth anything. But by the time I die, I’ll hopefully have 30 guitars. They’re what I collect, and something I want to pass on to my kids and grandkids.” Amazingly enough, she just nodded and said, “Okay… I know it’s important to you.”
How do you like that? I know I have this crazy obsession with buying guitars (probably even more so than amps) – especially now that I have the financial means to buy them. But it’s especially pleasing to have a life partner like my wife who understands and supports my passion. She knows that I actually work to support my music, and she also knows that guitar is central to that passion.
This is a short post, but I just wanted to say that I’m a very lucky man to have a woman who supports his music.
