Guten Tag! Greetings from Musikmesse, Frankfurt!




MesseFrankfurt. Or rather 1/10 of it. Imagine Singapore EXPO filled with all kinds of music, sound and lighting related booths. 10 halls, I can never finish walking.


Before


After
Jason: Someone teach me how to play the "cello"?

Having a beer after a hard day's work (Oh did we mention we are going for a sauna later?)

Feeling Cra(b)ppy lately?

Hungry for some chili crabs? Head on down to Macpherson Road Jackson Kopitiam for some crustacean indulgence! Like everything in life you take it with a pincer of salt. Oh, I mean pinch of salt :p
A picture taken just before the crab feast. I bet the smiles are for the crabs and not the camera!

Happy St Patrick's Day


Drink 5 pints of Guinness at Harry's and get a St. Patrick's Party Hat! Oh and if you wear the hat sideways, you can be Willy Wonka too! :)

Do you have batteries for sale?

Its amazing how people can keep approaching me for batteries! Having a great wall of guitar strings and accessories doesn't mean I'm running a provision shop here!

Yes they actually approach me so often that Maestro should be converted into a convenience store instead! haha! I recently encountered this fella dashing right into the shop and taking his camera's battery out his huge bag of goodies and saying "I Want This". I looked at him saying,"We don't sell batteries" He then became hysterical but didn't realise that he had entered the wrong shop! Make a guess which continent that camera man comes from? :p

Mama Mia!

Abba's songs are so apt sometimes. It's amazing what you can find in a guitar soundhole. Todate, I've found a SIM card, broken plectrums and even an Oreo Cookie! Not one, but two Oreo Cookies. I can understand the broken plectrums, but a SIM card? An Oreo Cookie??

Ok, my wandering inquisitive mind wouldn't let these instances rest so here are some possibilities:

1) The guy mistook the oreo cookie for a 3 ply fender pickguard

or

2) Since music is food for the soul, he decided to feed his guitar at the same time

Ok now the SIM card:

1) Maybe he thought that the SIM card could record his music and then mass sms to everyone in his contact list

I can really hear Mama Mia in my head playing right now!

My humble desk with kopi O gao. Have I ever told anyone I love my guitar repair devices? Finding new ways to use them is always an utmost challenge.
