Dear Mudcat Advisor,
I have a new problem. I don't know if you have ever seen a guitar without a plug or those knobs on them that you can see in pictures in the 25-part Time-Life series on "The 60's" that I bought, but they are mostly brown. I thought that as a surprise I would spice up one of my husband's guitars (he calls it Martin for some reason -- anything to do with Roan and Martin? who once did funny things with doors if I remember) and got out my acrylic paints and made it very very psychedelic, in a kind of homage to that era!!! When he got home he saw what I had done and really, really blew up and we had a big fight. Do you think that I went a bit far in trying to bring some art into our humdrum lives? He seems unwilling to come halfway towards relating to my aspirations.
