Last night was the first night in a very long time that I was able to leave windows open while I slept.

Earlier today I took my Strat to Woodsy's Music for restringing.  Then I went downstairs and looked at the acoustic guitars.  There's a used Martin that is calling to me.  I don't think B was too happy when I started rhapsodizing about it.  "It costs how much?"

Anywho, I don't know...but I might be willing to go into deeper debt for it, even if I'm not worthy of the instrument.  Maybe I should start playing the lottery.

Am almost finished reading Philip Glass' memoir Words Without Music.  What a book of riches.

Also have just started reading I'm Very Into You: Correspondence 1995-1996 by Kathy Acker and McKenzie Wark.

  1. Tom, you're wife would probably disapprove of me as an "enabler," but what model Martin are you looking at?

  2. I have it's sibling, a 2011 OM-1. I wasn't in a position to buy anything higher up the Martin food chain. It does the job, nicely, though, and I like it a lot. The D-1 ought to be similar. Do you know what year it was made? You can tell, if you make a note of the serial number.

  3. I have no idea what year. Thanks for the tip though. When I go back to pick up the Strat I'm going to take a closer look.
