If you're also like me, you hate holiday shopping, holiday crowds, and holiday traffic.
And did I mention the cost of gas?<br /><br />
I've found a web site that lets me take advantage of all the things I like and avoid all
those holiday hassles I can do without.<br /><br />
My friends at Musician's Friend have a gift center here:<br /><br />
<a href="http://www.musiciansfriend.com/gifts" title="http://www.musiciansfriend.com/gifts" target="_blank">http://www.musiciansfriend.com/gifts</a><br /><br />
Now I can get all the cool toys I've been wanting all year, and I can find musical gifts for my
friends and family. And I never need to leave the house. For those hard-to-please people
like my sister, I can even get a gift certificate and let her do her own shopping. </p><p>I work with a lot of the guys I jam with, so I can get drum stuff for Michael, bass guitar gear for Russell and keyboards for our keyboard wiz Martin. Everybody likes a guitar strap, instrument cable or an effect pedal in their stocking. And I can find something in just about any price range for the people on my list. </p><p>
The prices are right in line for the world of music gear. And so far,
I've been able to find everything I've wanted.<br /><br />
For those of you who may have budding -- or experienced -- musicians in your family,
you can sort through all the products by category, price, popularity, brand or other ways that can help you narrow down your choices.<br /><br />
There's even a wishlist feature. So when you're ready to drop some heavy hints, just put
those items on your list, print out a copy and leave your wishlist where your minister of
finances can find it.<br /><br />
Wish me luck. This year I'll be hinting for a Gibson ES-339. It's their new semi-hollowbody
git box that's sized in between a Les Paul and a standard hollow body electric guitar.<br /><br />
It's gonna sound so good when I play the "Holiday Shopping Blues."<br />
