September 22, 1995: I bought my first performance guitar


Thirty years ago today

            On Friday I posed from 10:00 to 14:30 for the Forest Hill Art Club at 666 Eglinton West. When I went back downtown I saw Clara Blackwood on the street but she kept on walking. 
            Since my band was breaking up and I didn’t want to go back to singing my songs acapella I went to the annual Long and McQuade attic sale to buy a guitar. I got an Epi and though it wasn’t my first guitar it became the first guitar I would perform with and the first one that I would use for busking. I took it home and quickly learned my songs “Megaphor” and “The Next State of Grace”. Then I went to the Spit Fridays open stage at the Cameron House and played them.
