I love my guitar...

So I had a weird/great dream the other night that I went guitar shopping on Denmark Street with Bonnie Raitt.. which was pretty awesome by the way.. if any of you haven't heard her you really should check her out.. She's one of the best live artists I've ever seen.. and an incredible guitarist.. which leads me on to this strange and interesting story..

When I first came to London I was pretty miserable.. I missed my family, I missed the sun, and I missed being able to make a living from music.. So I spent a lot of my time in internet cafes talking to friends and avoiding the rain. One day I stumbled upon an online magazine called Rockrgrl, and noticed they had a competition going.. Which was one of those 'write 50 words starting with I am a Rockrgrl because'... So I entered, and to this day I really can't remember what I wrote..

Anyway I'd totally forgotten about the thing until a month later when I got an email saying 'Congratulations You've Won'... and a week later on my doorstep was a Custom Shop Bonnie Raitt Signature Series Strat.. signed by Bonnie Raitt.. I had my picture taken with the guitar and was in the Fender Magazine and everything. How utterly weird and random. But also great. When I was at a particularly low point in my life this cool thing happened and cheered me up just at the right time...

I love my guitar...
