I got my new guitar today. I played House of The Rising sun on it while in the music store, because it's the only song I have totally memorized so far and it sounded excellent on my new guitar. My new guitar is a hollow body electric. It's the size of an electric, so my neck and shoulder don't go numb when I play it and I love that part especially.
I might name my new guitar zeke after my very first photography teacher. It is not that zeke played the guitar, or rather if zeke did play I never knew about it, but I had a total student crush on zeke and spent many hours in his closet of an office pouring over my contact sheets with him, just hoping that maybe he would kiss me, which he never did, but he did inspire me creatively and make me believe in my ability and fuel my passion. But mostly after a year of studying with zeke, I believed and was confident that I had a gift, so when the tenured professor who didn't particularly care for me or my work came back from his sabbatical and zeke left our school, I was able to carry on and do my best until the very last portfolio review when the tenured professor told me that he had been underestimating my photos/work/vision the past two years and then he apologized. The apology was on a cassette tape and I might still have it somewhere. I wonder where zeke is today? If only I could remember his last name I'd google him. So what do you think about zeke for a guitar name?
