Pittsbuburgh, Take 2

Actually we never made it into Pittsburgh, but we got close, and recovered from Steve's guitar walking out on him. There's definitely a country song in there somewhere. We know it walked because we headed back to the bar and the guys who cleaned up as we were leaving definitely didn't seen it. Anyway, he's got a snappy new blue girl whose heart will remain true, I can just tell. Seeing as I have no idea when his birthday is or when I last got him a birthday present, I got him a case.

Last night we hung out at the Keynote Cafe just outside Pittsburgh.


We got there really late as New Guitar Quest took up most of the day and required a lot of driving (including another $10 on the Pennsylvania turnpike). We did an acoustic set, where yours truly was an expert bongo-ist. Jill, the owner, was super friendly and hooked us up with all kinds of free food. We played some blues with the other guys there for the night too. I wish I had a picture, but just picture two dudes who look exactly like this.


Bonus Country Song: Steve's Guitar Broke His Heart

You may have cost a hundred bucks,
Your wiring may be faulty.
But Steve kind of loved you for the times
you spent rocking out together.

But now you've walked away
Nary a whisper to the dudes in the bar.
You took the memories,
and broke poor Steve's heart.

Steve's moved on from your cheating ways,
and got a new blue beauty.
She'll never wander far from home.
Though Steve'd have you back in a jiffy.

Except we probably wouldn't drive back across the Pennsylvania Turnpike to get you.
