The Luthier

            I took my acoustic electric guitar to a luthier. It needed to be re-wired. The guitar was broken, no good, useless as far as being able to use it with an amp. I had to use a microphone when I performed and stand in a fixed position to be heard. I'm not very good at standing in a fixed position. I get a little antsy. I felt like a robot when I played.
            Sometimes I'd lose track of where the microphone was and bang my guitar into it mid-song, or pull away from the mic and have the sound of the guitar disappear. I'm glad the guitar's finally fixed. Now, if I want to break into a flat foot in between verses I can. 
            The luthier has his own line of guitars called Marble Head Guitars. When I communicate with him via email I use the heading "Dear Marble Head." It cracks me up every time. I'm not sure why, it just does. The luthier does have a round head. Wolf pup.
