Just to brag around: I’m gonna see Jan Gabarek live in the Laeiszhalle here in Hamburg tomorrow. Gabarek is definitely one of my favourite contemporary jazz artists and though I own almost all of his albums, I never saw him live. Yippiiee!

Here’s my short report from Hamburg’s Vintage Guitar Show 2007 which I visited this weekend. Well… uhm… there was guitars, old ones. But frankly, it was not what I expected. There were only very few really impressive exhibits, mostly from the legendary Star Club and The Beatles. I expected to see Zappa’s first guitar or something, or to have a chance to see luthiers doing what they do, but it was more or less a flea market with very expensive goods, plus some guys selling accessories (at good prices, granted).

Maybe I’m not enthusiastic enough but watching guitar nerds try out 5000 euro guitars (I didn’t dare to touch anything I can’t afford *g*) just wasn’t satisfying for that 12 bucks entry fee. I bought myself a set of Fender strings, a handful of picks, and a high end instrument cable (which really makes a difference, to my surprise) for twenty, which very well compensated me for the entry, but unless I win a lottery or something and can buy one of the real things I doubt I’ll go there again next year.

One fun thing though was the museum guards (the show was at the museum for Hamburg’s history) shivering with all the rocker type of guys coming in - stereotypes can be so amusing…
