Set List Friday Special - Holiday Kickoff

Memorial Day is considered to be the unofficial launch of the summer season.  The 4th of July is honored when the holiday comes.

On the other hand, Halloween is considered to be the unofficial launch of the holiday season because Thanksgiving tends to be glossed over and straight to Christmas.  The fundamental meaning behind Thanksgiving is somehow lost in transit.

With that said, I have one concluding note -

To American readers and passersby, I hope you had a truly Happy Thanksgiving filled with love, laughs, and tradition...of course, though, staying safe.  As November quickly comes to a close, may this official holiday kickoff be the most wonderful time of the year...

Thanksgiving Announcement

Dear readers and passersby,

Just to let you know, I will be taking time off for the Thanksgiving holiday - Wednesday and Thursday of this week.  I will return to Set List on Friday.

Yamaha on zZounds

Yamaha is an intriguing brand on zZounds.  Why is that?  Epiphone, Fender, and Gibson are staple brands for guitars.  Roland is known for electronic drums and Tama is known for acoustic drum kits.  And then there is a mix of instrumentals within one brand - Yamaha.

Yamaha offers an incredible range from acoustic-electric guitars to acoustic drum kits to acoustic guitars to electric bass guitars to electric guitars to electric drums to personal keyboards to synthesizers and workstations...and literally so much more.  Anything you desire, chances are Yamaha will be your go-to brand.

In this post, I thought I would share the Yamaha link for you to explore and perhaps consider.
