My last day at work

[JimN]

Hi all,

Thank you for your wishes.

My boss gave me a $100 gift certificate for McCabe's guitars.
They specialize in acoustic and stringed instruments. If you come to LA, you have to go there and visit, it's a must.
I saw Tommy Emmanuel there. He played there several times.

I took my cheap Chinese Gypsy student guitar ($350) and they graciously turned it in a $850 one and put a
It plays wonderfully now. They even put a Hot Spot pickup on it and all for ... $100.

Gypsy swing is back in my agenda now.

Blessings,
Abel

I'm sorry that I somehow missed this thread at Christmas, my friend. I was away from home over that period - that's my excuse!

Many congratulations on achieving your goal(s) - I know how exacting they were.

Is McCabe's Guitars the place in Pico Bvd, where they hold concerts as well as selling guitars?

Hi Jim, that’s the place. Good to hear from you.

The NAMM is insane. Unless you prepare a month in advance, forget it.
It’s way too big now. Literally hundreds of guitar makers, gears, amps etc...

I saw the Gypsy Hot Club of Las Vegas, inspiring.
I’ll post some pictures.

Blessings,
Abel

I am just realizing how right you were when you said: "you’ll soon wonder how you had time to work".

I am busy all day and haven't had time to even play guitar yet.

We told you so !

That nice to hear) Many people after retirement think that they should rest, that is, slow walks, watching shows, simple games like https://duckdice.io/lottery Gradually, this routine delays, interests change and the desire to live decreases. That is why I am inspired by good examples to have a goal even after I become 60.
