guitar — Home and Garden Diva

A mass of guitar equipment

I’m sure anyone that’s been reading this blog or any or my other blogs regularly knows that I’m back in renovation mode these days. Along with renovating our house comes cleaning and clearing out rooms so that work can be done. It’s amazing the stuff that can accumulate in a house over the years isn’t it.

My husband is a musician and I didn’t realize it, but he has musical equipment all over the house! Guitars, cords, microphones, music stands, music books, mbox interface equipment, amplifiers, guitar peddles and so on. There’s so much musical equipment I don’t even think he was aware of how much he had. Perhaps it’s time for him to take a good hard look at what’s here and if he’s not using it maybe we should have a yard sale or sell some it online or something.

I don’t know – perhaps he won’t go for that idea, but we have a lot of clutter and something needs to be done about it! Clutter wise he has more than me.

Organizing things – again

by The Diva

There were a lot of things I was supposed to be doing today … but my husband not being home kind of put a dent in my plans. You see we were supposed to have been finishing some of our renovations. Grrrrr ..

So … I kept myself busy doing other things … like cleaning up some areas of the house that needed cleaning and organizing. Like the basement – still. There’s a large area filled with my husbands music equipment. not guitars or anything like that. It wouldn’t be good to keep guitars in the basement but items like his pedals, an amp, music stands and several of his mics are in the basement. I even came across a really cool microphone made by blue microphones. It has an old fashioned look to it. I didn’t even know he had a microphone like that. Pretty cool!

So yet another area of the basement is now organized .. and I did that alone, again. I’ll have the whole house done – on my own pretty soon.

A musical day at the hospital

by The Diva

My husband works at the hospital that’s just down the street from our house and every year the hospital happens to put on an annual Christmas show. My husband, being a very talented musician almost always participates in the musical part of the show.

So for the last two months or so he’s been pulling out one of his gibson guitars and practicing with several other people from work – doctors, nurses and other hospital workers on a few songs that they planned to perform at the Christmas show.

I had thought the show was going to be on Thursday and I was going to go to it, but it was actually today! My husband came home from work this evening and told me all about it. He said everyone seemed enjoy their performance and that someone was video taping so I might be able to catch some of it on the hospitals website.

Are all guys bad at packing?

by The Diva

My husband is busy getting ready to go away for the weekend. He’s going up North to a party that a friend of ours is having – on a boat.

He’s been playing his guitar and practicing some of his favorite songs all week. Oh and he’s been printing out the lyrics and music and putting them together in a binder that we just call “The Book”. With the way he’s been printing pages all week I’m glad he hasn’t been color printing as I’m sure we’d be out of ink by now. LOL

I was going to help my husband pack, but I think I’ll let him get started and see how things go. He’s not the best packer in the world … one time we drove out east (2000 miles) and he forgot to pack underwear! At least that was an easy enough problem to fix.

I wish that I was going up North as well this weekend, but the hotels in the area aren’t dog friendly and since it’s a long drive and an overnight stay we can’t leave our dog at home on her own. I just know she’d get into trouble.

Ok … back to work … I’ve got to check on what my husband has packed so far!
