I go a little crazy over acoustic guitar, and this morning at work we were listening to a local radio station, a great program called The Caravan, which we turn on every morning from 9-noon. There was some acoustic guitar playing, and I was half-listening while directing the day's tasks. No idea who the musician was, but the DJ said that they were giving away a pair of tickets — to the second caller — for a show the guitarist was doing Thursday night. He said the phone number — ten digits — and with my left hand (the right one was painting), I turned on my phone and punched in the numbers, not at all certain if I'd remembered them. And then this:
"Hello, this is KBCS, and you're the winner!"
Shrieks of glee! And the venue is a mile from my house!
And he even announced my name (T.) on the radio as the winner. (Twice, in fact.)
(My five seconds of fame.)
(O how easily we are made joyful.)
Here's the artist and the piece I heard (dig his wild floppy curls!!):
I love live music FULL STOP. I'd rather listen to an ordinary musician live, than a better one recorded. Lucky you!
ReplyDeleteThat makes two of us, Cro!
DeleteLucky you. I like acoustic guitar too. My husband plays and I infinitely prefer his acoustic to his electric.
