You're not an old geezer unless you believed and went to the police station.
I almost wish that I'd told them I was on my way to the police station,
just to see what would happen next, but I'm still nursing my arm. First
time going walking will be this morning.
Some kids these days think I play an old geezer dad-guitar. What the heck do

I like SGs. Of course, I'm a geezer too. My main guitar is a black
Blueshawk 1996.

I don't think he's from my generation nor does he have guitars designed back in
the 50's so there's probably still some hope left for him.

I'm not a guitar nerd. I'm not even a guitar*ist*. I've never owned an
SG, but they are very pretty. I've never owned a 1st gen Corvette
either. I have several guitars, but the only two I could imagine really playing again are the Blueshawk, which feels perfectly matched to me,
and one of these. https://reverb.com/item/42725031-olp-mm12-ernie-ball-12-string-electric-guitar-natural

Leo Kottke, king of the twelve string.
Leo Kottke, king of the twelve string.
I don't like 70s music where a guitar hero starts freaking on their instrument and we all have to be in awe, but in the meantime it sounds
like an animal in pain. Jimmy Page, Jimi Hendrix, Jeff Beck and all
the others. I don't know Leo Kottke, except the name.

You'd like Kottke Master.
Once, Kottke was sitting on a stool ready to perform. He hiked his leg
and blew a fart. He said he was always taught to start warming up on a
low note. Then he began to play his guitar.

Acoustic guitarist. I'm sure I could find a CD of his music
somewhere in the house. This album cover looks familiar: >https://www.discogs.com/master/36131-Leo-Kottke-6-And-12-String-Guitar
