I played my first show in America at Old Style Guitar Shop in L.A. I recommend playing there to anyone!

Conversation on subway after first show

Random dude: “What instrument ya got in that case?”
Me: “Electric guitar.”
RD: “Oh you like to get DOWN huh? You play lead or bass?”
Me: “Rhythm.”
RD: “THERE  ya go! I play the trumpet. Taught myself in prison. First song I ever  learnt was The Pink Panther.”

Of course!
