Couldn't Stay Away

Ha! Yesterday I wrote that I would take a couple of days off from playing, but I couldn't keep away from my beloved Gibson Hummingbird. Pulled it out tonight and played around on it for an hour. Too bad, my left middle finger's knuckle was starting to get a little better, but it's sore again. I'll eventually work through the pain, I've noticed as I get older that aches and pains are now part of the game.

I went to Guitar Trader today and picked up a new acoustic guitar strap and some more strings. The strings I use are D'Addario EJ-16 Phospher Bronze lights (.012). The acoustic guitar strap I bought was a Planet Waves strap. It has a retractable end on it, so I can attach it to the headstock of my 'Bird and just detach the strap. No drilling for a strap pin required, nor do I have to take the trouble to tie the strap to the headstock. Just attach and play. Pretty convenient, huh?

Real compelling blog tonight for sure, but hey, nobody's reading this anyway.

Later!
