Hi everyone,
This is quite a round-about story, but bear with me.
I was randomly on the Larrivee Guitar Company website (which is a Vancouver guitar company that make incredible guitars)... The reason I was there was because I was thinking of asking them for a donation of a guitar for our museum's upcoming fundraising auction in March. As I was checking out their website (
http://www.larrivee.com) they had a section of musicians who own and use their guitars.
I scrolled all the way down and back up the list and boy, there's quite a few names... but then again, I didn't really recognize any of them at first glance. So, I clicked on the first name on the list to see who these people were, George Canyon was his name.
The first thing you see on his website is George Canyon in front of a radial engine.
http://www.georgecanyon.com.
I thought, oh cool, this guy digs airplanes, and then I looked at it more and checked out his website some more and discovered that the radial he was in front of was that of the Beechcraft Expeditor at the Canadian Museum of Flight in Langley BC. That's "my" museum as I call it, because I've been a member and volunteer there since I was 8 (twenty years ago)... yikes. And that Expeditor is the one my friends and I polished up one long summer about ten years ago. George Canyon's website includes other pictures of him and the museum's Harvard, and CF-100 Canuck too. How cool is that?
Anyways, I just thought it was really interesting how I started out doing something for my museum, and then I stray way off on a tangent, and then it comes right back to where I started.
I hope you enjoyed that story, and as a side note, the whole time I was writing this post I have been listening to George Canyons music that is playing from his website. He's very good, and that's coming from someone who doesn't place country music on the top of his favourites list.
Okay, now I gotta get back to work.
Peace,
David
