National Guitar Museum Opening
Peter and I were invited to a VIP event at the Orlando Science Center. They were hosting the unveiling of the very first National Guitar Museum. The museum will be touring with their exhibit and the premier was tonight at OSC. We dropped the kids off with Grandma and then got to the OSC a little before 7. There were hors d'oeuvres and an open bar before the doors opened. We got some food and a drink and sat down and talked with a few people there. Peter ran into a couple people who knew throughout the night and there were a lot of introductions to other people. There was an opening presentation done by Roger McGuinn, which I was little concerned wouldn't be my thing but it was very nicely done and very interesting. I have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed it. Once the opening was done we were able to tour the exhibit and see all the guitars they had for show. It was interesting to go through the history of the guitar with instruments dating back as far as 3,000 bc. They had displays to show the difference between different types of strings and they had interactive amps and displays where you could play back riffs and design your own guitar. They also had a
38' electric guitar that you could pluck on. I wasn't sure how well I would like the event but we ended up staying past the closing time because we were so caught up in the displays and talking to other musicians. Overall there were 250 people present for the opening and we found out that you could purchase tickets to the event for $50 a piece. The event is now open at the OSC and you can go see it with normal admission. To find out more click on the National Guitar Museum.
