    I'm Gonna Hang This Quote in My Guitar Room

    "The worst thing about playing guitar is having to resist the urge to play fast all the time."

    Spoken by Anna Calvi, award-winning Telecaster slinger.

    What quote do you / would you hang in yours?

    In the early 80s, I worked with a guy in a record store who played. He said something unoriginal but apt, "Rock and roll = girls, cars, and guitars."

    Polonius's speech from Hamlet that begins "Neither a borrower nor a lender be"--no, I didn't look it up on line; I taught the play for many years. Each time I read it, I saw more of its genius.

    Factoid: The line comes from a speech to his children that is meant to show, in part, that Polonius is a blow hard, stringing together commonplace maxims that his adult children probably already know.
