Default A stern reminder

Last night on my way to bed, I passed the large humidifier we have in the hall and noticed it was empty. It was late and I was tired, so decided to wait till morning to fill it. During the night I had a dream. I dreamt that I opened the case of my Martin D-41 and the guitar had literally wasted away... there was nothing left but a skeleton, a few dried out and shrunken slivers of wood and pieces of varnish that still held the shape of the guitar. It was horrifying!

Guess what was the first thing I did when I got up this morning....

1. Thanked God it wasn’t Clapton’s 000-45 that he showed you in the other dream (influenced from having read the Clapton dream thread).

2. Swore it was time to cut back on the AGF because it’s having an affect on you.
