Many people on the road have things they like to do in each country. An idea I came up with when I started traveling was to buy an acoustic guitar in each place that I stay longer than a month or so. Somehow I forgot to do this on my first assignment in Japan, then was stuck in oklahoma for a couple months. However, I finally got around to buying my first international guitar a couple months ago. The guy at the store kept telling me "Yamaha...number one, very good." I told him that I didn't want to buy a Yamaha cause I can buy one at home (or could have in japan) that I wanted the best Thai guitar. After running across the street to find someone who could speak better english, he realized what I was saying and proudly pointed to this guitar and said "Number one in Thailand!" Other than being a fifth of the price of the Yamaha, I thought it sounded better.
I took this picture on the deck of my hotel room. The water in the background is the Gulf of Thailand. After my swing through Colorado for Reid's wedding, I've been working on some John Denver songs. I'm having some trouble with Rocky Mountain High, but I think I got Annie's Song and Eagle and the Hawk down.
Back to work tonight from 4 pm to midnight.
