Thermionik Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Gilliangirl - whatever happened, did he ever bring that Gibson back..... I only ask, because I once sat next to Duster Bennet at a bar where he was having a beer-break in his set. I was kind of reticent, and desperate to be cool, so we talked gear and gigs and stuff. I really wanted to tell him how good I thought he was, and how much I enjoyed his gigs and records. But that would have been NOT cool, so I didn't. Doh..... He died in a car-crash driving home from London to Birmingham after that gig. So carpe diem, Gilliangirl, sieze the day, sieze the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilliangirl Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Good morning Therm! So sorry to read about Duster Bennet. I appreciate the sadness of missed opportunities. I have not seen hide nor hair of Mr. Vintage Gibson guy in months. The Bluegrass Society had no jams throughout summer but they are starting up again this month. Soooooo..... it's not over til, er, the fat lady sings! I did however find out that he is several years my junior (who isn't these days?) so that may now have a significant negative impact. Stay tuned..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilliangirl Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Thinking more about your conversation with Mr. Bennet, I'm guessing he already knew you were a fan and appreciated the fact that you didn't get gushy, like so many others probably have, choosing instead to discuss 'the business' with him. I'll bet that impressed him more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Pup Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Gilliangirl, "I did however find out that he is several years my junior" Ah yes, the things I've learned from older women......... Besides, after you turn thirty...It's all attitude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thermionik Posted September 15, 2008 Author Share Posted September 15, 2008 May I call you Karen (and I am Nik, by the by.....). What Space Pup said is 100%. Attitude is ALL. You are only as young/old as that person inside you. Me - I'm 56 going on 20. My lady and I were talking last week about it. You get up and groan and creak down to breakfast and feel some outer age. You look at your partner and walk down the road holding hands and you feel like the inner age. I can't say too much, because my partner has a brother on this very forum (Johnt), but in the past, age has only ever been an also-ran in any relationship decisions. And playing guitar together can get like a really intense conversation - and they can lead..... anywhere! So carpe diem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I too am 50 going on 25, but I get the feeling that sometimes that's not a good thing when searching for mates! Plus, I am so limited.... all I want to do is sit around and play guitar. The ex came over last night and we played guitars on the deck 'til the sun went down and it was great! We might even work on some new arrangements for some Gillian Welch songs! That's what makes me happy. The ex and I do better as friends so, please, no one suggest that we get back together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
