sparquelito Posted June 17, 2019 Posted June 17, 2019 So, I'm having to go down to Dothan, Alabama for a wedding on the last weekend of June. There will be my wife's family, and family politics, and stress, and a long drive to and from. Two nights spent in a hotel, and we are carrying the 90 year old father-in-law down with us in the rental car. My wife sighed to me this evening, "Look, I really appreciate your doing this. I know you hate weddings. And I know you're going to go crazy on a long weekend without your guitars and band-mates." I told her, "It's okay, darling. I have been doing some shopping-ahead on the internet. I'll be alright."🙂

We're attending the wedding is all. I just wanted a travel rig to enjoy while in the hotel at night, something that won't bother the immediate neighbors. On a trip to Yuma, AZ years ago, I brought along an old guitar effects processor, small cable, and headphones. My plan was, since I was to be out there for at least two weeks, to go find a cheap used guitar in a pawn shop, clean it up, and use it for the hotel while I was out there. Sure enough, I found am 'El Toro' model (by Behringer guitars) for 39 bucks, and it was a gem of a guitar! Good times. 🙂

But, what I meant was I'd want more compensation for the pain and suffering of attending the events!
