The Generators Band

As a musician, one of the strangest things that happened as I grew older was trying to reclaim , buy, and find all those instruments that I've had over the years and wished I'd never gotten rid of. Specifically as a guitar player, I traded many a guitar to upgrade to what I believed to a better guitar. Some times this was achieved, however, many times I let that nice guitar go that I should have kept. As an example, for several years I played a Gibson SG. This was a fine instrument and so I came to find out, a rare instrument of the day. It was a 1972 SG deluxe. This model was only made for 3 years. I traded it for a 1968 Black Beauty Les Paul custom. I would say I made a good deal of course, but well, 30 years later, I lament trading it off so easy. So guitar collecting began after age 50. I still have the Black Beauty. I recently bought a 2008 Gibson LP classic goldtop to retire that dependable old Black Beauty. It still works and plays great, but that 15 pound guitar weight is tough to play standing up for hours nowadays. I got a telecaster and a stratocaster plus several other guitars now too. Why, cause I aways wanted them, I just never played them in my younger"rocker" days. Yes, I bought an SG too. Just to own one, go figure.
