G&L Topic: Ok, so I mention to other musicians and singers around town that I ordered a G&L guitar, and the first thing they say is "What's G&L, are they any good?" So I start explaining "After Leo sold Fender...." and I can tell they've lost interest immediately, and without proper experience myself, it's hard to make them understand what G&L is all about. So, question today is: How would/do you explain G&L to people who haven't the slightest idea, and get their qualities across? An example might be 'if Gibson's are SUV's, G&L are sports cars' , although I don't know if that particular example is accurate due to my lack of experience with G&L. So how would you go about educating the masses?
Non-G&L Topic: This is a 'what if' scenario - What if you never became a musician? What would your hobby/profession be? All the time and money we spend reading about music/instruments, practicing, playing, repairing and everything else being a music "nut" (bad pun intended) entails is now spent doing something else... but what? I can hardly imagine doing something else, but I think, having to choose, I'd have been more heavily involved in hockey. For me (and my family when I was younger), it was a matter of money, music or hockey, not both... I picked music, and I believe I picked right. However, if playing guitar never came about, I think my passion would have been spent honing my skills on the frozen pond. How about you?
I can't wait to hear back!
