I was sitting and thinking yesterday of how "serious" we guitar players are about sound. I mean, a drummer or a piano player just have to play on whats available. I realized that I owned about 50-60 guitar amps through the years, and that made me think of my first "babe", which was actually not an amp at all. My mother had an tube-driven radio by Philips, that gone obsolete when the transistor radios came around, so I took that. I managed somehow to get the guitar signal into it. At first I even had an electric guitar, It was an acoustic with that little piezo-mic (that looks like a hearing-aid battery), that sounds like crap. But this so-called amp stayed with me at home for years when I was practicing, and what I can remember it sounded pretty good. (or maybe my memory is way out) Anyway, its a nice memory in this time of high-tech equipment. If anyone else has similar experiences, please share!!!!
