never got rid of any instruments..

just cant bring myself to do it.. no matter how hard up i am
or what other sacrifices need to be made..

thats why i got so many guitars and other stuff in the house..
they're a health and safety fire hazard..

however, when i was 15 or 16 back in the mid 70's
my first amp was a £50 2nd hand 1960's valve Vox AC30..
it lasted a week before a valve or something expired..

i wish now i'd got it repaired and kept it..
instead of taking it back to the shop and trading it in
for a 'modern space age transistor' combo
