My beloved wife got me a slot at the Rock and Roll Fantasy Camp.

Alas, I don’t really want to go. I haven’t played electric guitar in two years, and neck surgery messed up my singing voice, and the whole idea, while very inventive on her part, stresses me out.   My intuition is that it will be competitive and full of who is bigger on technique and equipment, and frankly, I don’t play good enough to get into those kinds of games.  I play acoustic mainly to relax and haven’t really improved in 3 or 4 years after an initial burst of progress in the first year I owned a guitar.

Anyway… if you are interested in the slot, or know somebody, shoot me a note.  She won it as a minimum bid at a charity auction, so it will probably be as cheap a trip to the camp as you could hope to find.

I love my wife VERY much. And I hope this doesn’t stress her too much, although I could tell she was miffed when I broke the news to her.  The lesson, of course, is the answer to this question… “what do you get the man who has everything?”.
