It happened to me at Dulles Airport last September when I heard an instrumental (Muzak) version of "Saturday." Re: Guitars of cheese. Sheila, there is no law (other than economics) that says you can't get the purple Ibanez. ;) LOTS of players have more than one axe. Ask P&M. And you need to go with your own feelings rather than what people tell you. I just got a Yamaha 12-string. I didn't get rid of my Guild. But within a week -- once at WFMA and once at a friend's house -- I played two Yamaha APXs and they played great and sounded good. The guy at Chuck Levin's wanted to sell me a $1,200 Taylor, but I liked the Yamaha ($471) a WHOLE lot better. Plus, if you're going to spend $1,200 on guitars and already own a great, used $600 Guild, you can get a new acoustic-electric Yamaha (or purple Ibanez) and spend the remainder on a custom gig bag. On another note: Tom and I played the Jammin' Java open mike last night in Vienna, VA. Who should we share the stage with but Greta of (sometime) J-P fame? What a great night! This is the best open mike in the D.C. area, now moving to Mondays to avoid a conflict with the Reston-Herndon Folk Club, thanks to host and long-time D.C./Nashville folkie Steve Key.

The Herndon Amphora Diner Deluxe rocks. I even carry their business card in my wallet because it makes me smile when I come across it. I've never wished I lived closer to a diner before.... They are just such the nicest people there, the food is great and the vibe can't be beat!! 1151 Elden Street. As for the purple Ibanez, it was already sold. I was just playing and dreaming. I want a "grown-up" guitar now (maybe even with a pickup, in case I get brave and try some more mic things), but I have to find just the right one that will fit my hands (AND my wallet) and maybe even looks real purty (though I know deep down looks truly don't matter, I am drawn to the colors: dark greens, blues, sometimes blacks, and now, apparently, deep purples). Oh yes, AND I want a cutaway.

Nancy and I ate there for the first time (and we live only 10 miles away) last Saturday before we went to the Pierce Pettis concert at Jammin Java, which is starting to really rock. Cliff Eberhardt is playing there Feb. 15. The show for Pierce was packed and that means 150 souls. He was definitely impressed with the turn out, since he plays the smallest rooms in the area. As for the Amphora -- lots-o-food. My chicken Florentine came with pasta and sauce on the side plus a salad. We went there because we had a coupon that was good for a $12 entree. Cool or what? We decided to return for breakfast one Sunday. For those of you who don't know, there are lots of trendy places to eat -- read that CHAINS and SALOONS with stuff bolted to the walls -- in Northern Virginia. We've ALL eaten in these places on occasion. So it is a treat to find a one-of-a-kind restaurant in these parts. > > As for the purple Ibanez, it was already sold. I was just playing and > dreaming.

Oh > yes, AND I want a cutaway. > Well, Sheila -- you do HAVE a baby Taylor which makes those of us who want a Taylor drool all over our LESSER guitars. I have owned many guitars of cheese and some of them were among my favorites. I traded my first, my Aria 12-string for an Epiphone 12-string and then, more than 15 years ago, traded that guitar for an Ovation 12-string which stood me in great stead, even if it made my left hand numb after 4 hours of playing. So last year, I traded that for a buttery Guild D-4 12 which matches my D-4 6-string. But the Yamaha was fate. I played one at WFMA and I played Scott's last Thursday. The Yamaha 12 I played at WFMA reminded me so much of my Epiphone, which I played almost every day for many years through college (all five of them). I had installed a DeArmand 1200 pickup on it, and then later, one of the first under-the-saddle piezo pickups ever made. It might have been cheesy but it was a great guitar and I miss it to this day -- I sold it to help pay for the Ovation which sounded a lot better plugged in, even though I never got used to playing that neck. Sheila -- check out the Yamaha APX line. I know that you have smaller hands like I do and these are affordable, electric acoustics, some in cool colors, with cutaways -- and nice on-board electronics. I saw a woman with one at the open mike last night, even. Like my pardner Tom said -- the other day I'd never heard of this guitar and now they're all over the place! Might be a real sleeper. If you can hook up with last year's model, you'll probably even get a discount. Trying them out does no harm, and gives you an excuse to hang out in the music store, too.
