Lol...back in 1979 I was a junior in an all boys Catholic High School here on Long Island. Was a good time period for me, 70's music was fun and the Metal or "Heavy Metal" was starting to hit around here. There were LOTS of clubs on Long Island to go too. Van Halen was big and Disco was dying, Disco was big around here (20-30 miles outta NYC) for some time. It was kinda strange, the clubs all had identity crisis', should they be Disco or Punk or Heavy Metal? In the end the Punks and Rockers won out. Clubs would be Punk for 2 nights and Rockers for the next few. The eighties were fun for me, PLENTY of bands and places to go see them at.
Ny was a cool place to be back then...CBGB's in the city, L'Amours in Queens ( borough of NYC) The scene was alive back then!
Now there is NO scene around here, just pay to play bands...........
I'd kill someone's dog for that guitar! Looks in nice condition too judging from the usability point of view
Oh yeah, 79 led into the awesome 80's. The early eighties in LA and the OC had great clubs, great bands and great music. The 80's were some of the greatest memories of my life and certainly the worst memories of my life. But in 79 I was still an innocent pup with my whole life ahead of me.
I was 11 years old in '79 and already hatin' life. I didn't start playing for 3 more years on acoustic even though it was around '79 when I started asking for a guitar. I didn't get a "playable" until I was 15 and earned my own money to buy it. I still hold a grudge...
