Amy & The Guitar Center

Seefutlung · Dec 12, 2008

For her 17th B-day, my daughter Amy, wished for a new guitar. So we went to "The" Guitar Center in Hollywood. Amy lives in Rancho Santa Margarita, about an hour ana half south of Los Angeles ... while there are many Guitar Centers between SM and Hollywood ... "The" Guitar Center is a Mecca for musicians.

Wow ... trash is the street ... a far cry from her gated community of Dove Canyon in the OC.

Hey HoboSyke ... Thanks for looking and commenting. I thought "Hobo" was an American term ... unless it's your name or something.

Dude....

All the people on that wall are DEAD!!!!!

I don't think you really want your daughter on that wall....do you?

I made a similar journey for my daughters 16th birthday. From Santa Fe TX. to the guitar center in Las Vegas Nv.
