I teach at this wonderful guitar shop, in Santa Monica, called McCabe’s.  It’s a national treasure and has been in operation for over 50 years.  It’s got down-home charm and warmth and the concert stage, in the back, has hosted some of the finest musicians to grace the planet over the course of the past 50 odd years.  Don’t take my word for it.  Check out the artists who’ve played there.  http://www.mccabes.com/perflist.html  (there’s a link on the Blogroll)

Near the community bulletin board, on the right when you come in the door, there is a row of clips where we teachers hang a little sign that says which room we’re teaching in upstairs.  A while back, Morgan (one of the wonderful McCabe’s “princesses” – as I like to call a group of young women who work there… ) did a photoshop image of me walking across Abbey Road – in the opposite direction of the Beatles.  I was more than a little flattered by the association and I also found the “spoof” – well, pretty damn astute.  Morgan is obviously a smart young woman with a penchant for visual language.

I didn’t think to include the image here until last week when I showed up for my teaching day.  I always appreciate clipping it up on the wall at McCabe’s.  It’s one of those sweet, small details of life that make it so great.

Thanks, Morgan
