TWO OF A PERFECT PAIR?

NAMM Show has come and gone. Although I’ve been at since 2011, I actually attended my first NAMM Show in 2010, back when I was a “civilian,” a wide-eyed East Coast guitarist who was so incredibly fame — was suddenly walking in my general direction in Hall D, so I had my girlfriend take our photo together. It was my first-ever “NAMM Show celebrity sighting.” The weird thing is, this past January 15, exactly 10 years that Belew walked on the down hall back in 2010, it happened again. I was downing a margarita at the Fender Custom Shop pre-show party, and there he was. Of course, we took a new photo. (By the way, I love how it looks like we’re wearing the same pants in both photos.)
