christmas update

I did get one of the things I wanted for Christmas: the Lord of the Rings 50th Anniversary edition book. I've been enjoying it quite a bit, although I've not read much of it yet.

As for other presents, I'm still looking for everything on that list, but I noticed that I didn't make clear I was looking for CDs. I would hope people wouldn't think I was looking for the actual small combo jazz guitarists, and so assume that I was looking for their recorded music, but I need to be sure.

Also, I'm not so sure about the loop station. I would still like to build my guitar effects library, and in fact I have recently. There was a grand opening of a Guitar Center in Madison, and I got a great deal on the basic Boss Distortion pedal. I've had a bit of fun with that, and with the old Fender tube amp one of my friends is letting me use.

Anyhow, that's it for now. I feel so weird and materialistic when writing these posts.
