247 consecutive friday

Carbondale Colorado, A microcosim of the way it should be. A tiny town with a population of people who support music and art. We were playing steve's guitars. There was a band next door and a sold out grand opening of a 400 seat theater. Steve's guitars is part museum, part living room, part guitar store. You wouldn't beleive the huge names who have played here over the years. They come because it is magical. It is steve's hobbie, or should I say passion. He has had music there every friday for the past 4 1/2 years. It is a tiny room that holds about 40 people and 100 + guitars. He said they were for sale but every guitar we were interested in just happened to be one he wasn't selling. Mike pulled early 60s airline guitar off the wall and played through the matching danelectro amp. I broke a string and pulled a 70's jumbo gibson copy off the wall and started playing it. The radio station KDNK (it streams) plays our music. People listen, they like it, they tell their friends. Steve hears about it and asks us to play the room, it fills up. people listen and respond for two wonderful hours. Everyone buys CDs and asks when we are coming back. They ask us to play a big outdoor fest this summer. This is what it is all about.

Love it.
