Jane,
I like the song idea. I hesitated to respond to this thread because of the dirt on some consciences around here, BUT...if Mick happens to check back...
Mick,
If you really want that Gigliotti, you need to be creative!
Random acts of extra kindness go a long way in the whole softening up to the idea of another guitar. My husband is 51, he used alot of reverse psychology on me mixed with a little guilt.... Not connected to, but dreadfully one of his original guitar buddies had a massive heart attack and is just doing OK...NOT wishing that on anyone, but personally too many people wait until the right time to go places or buy things when they can. " ...in a New York minute, everything can change..."
If you share chores- take up the bathroom tile without putting something back on her list (this can be substituted)
Pay a little more attention to her and give her a massage without needing anything in return.
If you never gave your lady the ultimate foot message, learn to or treat her to a some professional spa services, whatever she prefers
The stock market is volatile & unstable, vintage guitars are actually a better investment, especially with all the baby boomers trying to recapture some of their youth. So, you can hold onto the Gibsons if you're really not pressed for the money and have your cake and eat it too, so to speak. Also, let it be known to family/friends for all your upcoming gifts (holidays, birthdays) you want money towards an awesome Gigliotti. With Joe's rising popularity, the Gigliotti is also a good investment! If you ever consider selling anything...e-mail me ...Christmas is right around the bend...I gave into my hubby's guitar buying habits about 2 years ago...he doesn't have any expensive vices, except guitars and they make him happy!
I hope you get your guitar eventually and I've entertained you while I pass time elevating and icing my foot!

Thanks for that. I just gotta have one of those guitars. Maybe my wife will fall for the old one about - "If I get that, I'll sell the Gibsons to pay for it" - again? Bearing in mind I've used that one about four times in the last 18 months and I still haven't sold the Gibsons, maybe I need a new cover story!? Any suggestions anyone?
Regards,
Mick
write her a song? or put a little time and effort into something she will benefit from that can only come from you - everytime
