Herein lies a difference Punkfolkrocker, you obviously prefer to play amplified music and I prefer a good Malt.
I don't usually like loud music, there are exceptions, but I do enjoy a good Malt especially when shared with like minded people.
A new blast it out pedal or a new Malt .......... no contest !!
I do like music, it soothes the savage beast within me, but so does a good malt. Given the choice between the two I would probably opt for the music but I hope I never have to make that choice.
