Yesterday Ty and I took off around 9:30 to head to Kahului for my meeting with my distributor and then to hook up with my buddy Jeff at Bounty Music. I’ve known Jeffrey for about 40 years and he’s one of the best guitar players anywhere. On the way we picked up an old Martin acoustic from Dr. Corenman that needs the neck reset. Jeff is also one of the best guitar techs around.
We made it to the distributor around 11 and my meeting lasted a bit over an hour. It was a really good meeting as I accomplished everything I wanted. Then we headed to the music store to see Jeff. We dropped Dr. C’s guitar and a box of wine for Mick Fleetwood. Then it was time to get serious for Mr. Ty. You see he’s been playing guitar in music class (and has an A) and wanted an electric guitar instead of continuing to play my acoustic. Jeff is about the only guy I know anywhere that I trust to pick out the right guitar. So Ty played around for a while with Jeff’s help and ended up getting a Fender Strat that Jeff said is a great one. We also snatched the coolest little amplifier that we can carry back on the plane. Jeff said Steven Tyler freaked over it and bought a couple and that he just used it recording an album the day before in the studio. It was also only $300 after a big discount. We left the guitar as Jeff was restringing it and setting it up for Ty. We’ll grab it this afternoon.
By the time we made it back to the villa it was about 2. We grabbed Lori and Jag and headed to the grocery store. Then we were back by 3 and the boys went swimming until 5 when we headed out to our favorite restaurant, Star Noodle. We were so hungry we ate in about 45 minutes.
Today we’ll try to catch some sun in between the clouds. Lori is a little (or a lot) burned though from sitting out yesterday. We might head down the island a bit too, we’ll see. That’s it for today, take care and GB.
