Guitar talk

since last Christmas I've purchased two new guitars--a Fender American Tele, and a Gibson Les Paul Studio. They're both great, although I think I'll need to upgrade my amp--this marshall combo isn't a true valve, and there seems to be a problem with the footswitch or the connection. Anyway, they still sound great and its great to finally have an electric again. Whoo--

I think I have a tendancy to listen obsessively to certain music for periods of time--whether days, weeks or months--to the exclusion of almost everything else. There are a few that I always come back to, others not so much. Anyway, at the moment it's the Who and Pete Townshend. I really didn't appreciate bands like the Who or Led Zeppelin when I was in high school--they were badly overplayed on various AOR stations in the Philadelphia area where I lived at the time. Except for the Beatles, I didn't have much interest at all in bands before the 1980s, unless they were punk/new wave groups. It wasn't until I got into college and beyond that I actually delved into their catalogues beyond the stuff that I had been fed ad nauseum.
