LA is tempting because there are a lot of singers there. R&B is popular there and that's my thing. IDK. It's like starting from zero. Plus all the driving. I'm 58 and should move on to something else. I can see why jazz musicians might get frustrated with LA. Lot's of snark between musicians and the audience. Cliches.

Hey guys. So, my fiancee got the job and I am going to LA. So the question remains, how do I ship a guitar across the country. I nixed the road trip idea, too much time and variables. How have you guys shipped guitars in the past. If something happened to my arch top, I would feel like a part of me died. Can I get the guitar insured? Let me know. Any other info about the shipping process would be greatly appreciated.

Just nervous. That guitar is gonna be my salvation as I get my shit together in LA with work and all. Looking forward to the weather, though. NYC is brick, as my students call it. gonna creep down to the single digits over the weekend, and we are leaving Saturday to check out places to rent. Warm weather, here I come.

And YES, I've done this before. Please INSURE your baby. It'll give you more peace knowing that God forbid...
