Well this weekend should be filled with guitar goodness. I just got an excellent ticket to see Santana tonight. It is at the 11 row from the stage at the center section($110). It's times like these when I am glad to be living in Dallas, the guitar capital of the world. I say that because we have shredders come to town quite frequently. Eric Johnson can be seen here at least twice a year. Clapton setup his crossroads guitar festival here. Santana is playing tonight and tomorrow night. There is a Stevie Ray Vaughan tribute concert on Sunday I am going to. It has Johnny Lang with Double Trouble(SRV's band) in it. I think Buddy Guy and Jimmy Vaughan will also be there. There are a couple of Guitar Festivals a year where guitar dealers come throughout the country. Steve Vai or Joe Satriani usually show up to those. Guitar Centers in Dallas have Guitarmaggedons every year where all of the shredders come out of the woodwork. A couple of years ago a guy from Dallas won the whole thing. The best guitar show I have ever seen had to be Steve Vai the last time he came to town. It was 3 hours of technique and showmanship. Although Crossroads guitar festival had more time, it didn't have as much technical prowess as 3 hours of Vai. On Saturday I also will get together and jam. In other news I watched the PBS special on Bob Dylan this week. I think he was smart songwriter. People called him a genius, but I think he was great at being vague. He always seems to write in a stream of consciousness kinda way. I wonder if I spelled consciousness write. I guess the spellchecker will figure it out. Uh oh, I bet it won't figure out that I used write instead of right. Oh well I guess I better put up a thought of the day. I wonder if I repeat myself in this blog a lot. I bet I have used at least one "thought of the day" twice. I wonder if I will be able to post to my blog when I am in Czech? It can be kind of a travelling blog. Anyways without further adieu, live from the internet, done 40 years ago, like a ham eating spam outta the can....

Thought of the Day
