One of my most favourite bands of the moment – JET – is recording in L.A. I wish there was some secret small gig that I could attend. Meanwhile, I have bought tickets for Buddy Guy’s show at the House of Blues on Sunset and for Lenny Kravitz & Aerosmith in San Diego, both in February. I have also discovered that Guitar Center on Sunset has a well-hidden room in the back with vintage guitars. I know what to do with my signing bonus if I get one – after all, at $3,000 a Gibson Les Paul Deluxe Gold Top from the 70’s is a reasonable treat. Or a red 60’s Gibson ES335… (links to quite similar models). A Thunderbird would be nice too, or perhaps an old Fender too – Telecaster, Stratocaster, Jaguar or Jazzmaster. :)
