With the Galaxy Guitar suffering from a bad case of malaria, tonight's gig won't happen but the Internet isn't running worth a damn so maybe it wouldn't have happened anyway.
I'm scheduled to play at the MusikCircus tomorrow night but that one couldn't have happened either as I won't get back from the Dallas Doctor in time. I need to be fairly specific about these doctors as the Dallas Doctor isn't the same one as the Guitar Doctor who isn't too far from here. (The circus calendar hasn't been updated yet as the Internet is so docked.)
Cat had an idea that maybe it would be possible to get a loaner guitar and for practice it would definitely be cool but I'm not so sure it would work for live. For a lot of a live show you run on 'finger intelligence' as the little guys just know where to go. If you need to think about that too much for a different guitar, the fingers will get all confused.
Here's the best idea to come from the bottom of a pot pipe so far today: see if anywhere is stupid enough to give me credit and then get another guitar so there's a backup.
Late-breaking news: I've discovered what happened. There are springs used for the guitar's twang bar and this is standard for any guitar of this type. One of the three springs came loose. That in turn changed the tension on the strings so they all went out of tune. This is definitely the cause so now I need to find some way to fix it. If anyone wants to Magic Express a pair of needle-nose pliers on down here, please do so.
