Austin Guitar Museum?

August 22, 2010 0 Comments

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.
