Austin Guitar Museum?

I can’t believe the Live Music
Capital of the world doesn’t have a guitar museum?. This is what I
heard a tourist say walking down South Congress in Austin. Why
isn’t there a proper guitar museum dedicated to music and the
instruments used to make it? Austin, Texas is known the world over
as the place where live music and the idea of a band still exists.
From South By Southwest to Austin City Limits from Stevie to
Willie, Austin is a bonafide music destination, I think its time
for a museum to exist that could serve a multitude of functions
from entertainment to revenue generation for a possible
non-profit music fund. This website is currently NOT a non-profit
but my intentions are altruistic toward the plight of keeping
musicians doing what they should be doing as stress free as
possible…playing, writing , recording music. At this early
juncture in the project, we are just a website where you will see
proprietary guitar and bass photos and articles about the musicians
who own them. It is my intention to primarily catalog images and
stories with video interviews as well as acquire actual instruments
and possible affiliate with the local stores to facilitate the
selling of instruments. If this idea sparks your interest,
let me know, maybe we can accomplish this together.
