I work at a school that has gone from 1200 students down to about 500. When this happens space starts to open up in the building. French had an idea to use some of that space the other day. He showed up during our spare and we heading out to the now vacant tech wing.
He opened the door; don't know how he had the key. Inside were two guitars. One was his Ibanez acoustic that he bought for $40 at a garage sale. He fixed it up and it was now a serviceable guitar. French had borrowed another one from the music class. Our school no longer has a guitar class, so it was a long time since it had been played. It was a small beat up Norman guitar, but it had a nice warm sound.
We played through many songs; the sounds of Fred Eaglesmith, Matt Mays, U2, Ryan Adams, and Johnny Cash rang out.
When the bell rang he tucked the guitars under some old paint tarps by a an old lathe.

I like the guitar breaks. I could use one of those now and again during my work day. Weird about your school. Where I live the schools are WAY over-crowded.
Where did the other 700 go?
Man! That French is one resourceful guy. He's kind of like a dark Angel, isn't he.
Never let space or means for creative expression go unused. I like the way French thinks. I like that you both took action!
