A Pittsburgh Guitars Theme Song!

 

Friday 9/5/2008

 

Hey!!!

This week, as I was contemplating the mysteries of the universe, I thought, "Life is good."

After thirty years, I still enjoy looking at guitars! And Pittsburgh Guitars is still fun!
Spending the day talking to folks about music is always nice. And everyone seems to enjoy the email special pictures and stories and contests. And events like next week's Pittsburgh Guitars' Big Beatle Show #5 are a blast. (BBS #5: Saturday, September 13th, The Rex, 8PM)

But then I thought, "Hmmmm.... It is fun! But I wonder if we can make it even more funner..."

 

At that moment I remembered last week, when I talked about the the theme song from The Partridge Family TV show, "Come On, Get Happy," and the theme from The Monkees, "The Theme From The Monkees." It occurred to me that while Pittsburgh Guitars is a fabulous guitar store, the one thing we are missing is a Theme Song!!

 

Here's our newest contest: We need a Pittsburgh Guitars Theme Song! We'll put it on our web sites; we'll play it in the store; we'll use it at Pittsburgh Guitars events; it will be forever linked to Pittsburgh Guitars!!
I don't have a style in mind. From an up-tempo music perspective (and the Rickenbacker 12-string), I always liked the theme from "Friends." From a story-telling perspective, you can't beat the themes from "Gilligan's Island" and "The Beverly Hillbillies." And themes from movies like "A Hard Day's Night" or "That Thing You Do!" are very cool. I'm open to suggestions. Instrumental themes can be pretty effective ("Jaws," "Star Wars," etc) but it should probably have words. (Although we don't have to go as far into it as "Creeque Alley" by The Mamas & Papas.) (Unless you WANT to mention that Scott was at Woodstock!)
You don't have to worry about a super fabulous recording. We can do the final recording later. For now we just need the song. I'll start rounding up some great prizes for the winning tune.

1996 Gibson
335 Dot Reissue

Natural and beautiful! This guitar is highly flamed over the entire body with nicely aged nickel hardware. It's in excellent overall condition. There are some slight surface scratches, and slight wall-hanger marks on either side of the headstock. Just set up and plays great!
