The Cat5 Showcase and the 19-One Art Showcase were a blast. It was the first time I had played by myself in a while and it was a nice change of pace.  Each event was attended by well over a hundred people and I got to try out my brand new guitar, a white ’62 vintage reissue strat.

I performed a few songs from Duende and worked in two Arctic Monkeys tunes at the latter gig as well as a Judy Garland tune that I first heard Jeff Buckley perform called “The Man That Got Away.”

Halfway through the set, I introduced the crowd the my new guitar and told them that, like a ship, every guitar needs a name.  At the merch table, we had a suggestion box and the person who suggests the best name for the guitar won a Tristan & the Juice t-shirt.  Here’s some of what we got.  Go ahead, guess the winner…

What Would You Have Chosen?
