Play It Loud - Part 1


There's a new exhibit at The Met. 

It's a wonderful display of Rock & Roll instruments - mostly guitars - mostly borrowed from their famous owners.  

Many were used to record iconic songs.  And others show the wear of a well worn friend. 

Some are unique, altered by their owners to allow them to make a specific sound.  

There are costumes and artwork too.  

Also some fascinating videos of the artists talking about their gear.  

It goes without saying that some of the instruments were true pieces of art.  So even if you aren't a Rock and Roll fan, it's worth a visit.  

But if you are a fan, it's a must see.  

The exhibit is open until October 1st so there's plenty of time to visit. 

 I will definitely take another look before then.  And post some more photos for people who won't be visiting the city in time to see it.

Lucky strike extra - when I arrived I couldn't resist taking this shot.  Edward liked it so much that he said he would link his Facebook to this blog if I included it. :-)  I think it's pretty fab too.

Here are some blogs of previous Met exhibits.  The Michelangelo exhibit last year is their current record holder for most visitors...




Enjoy!
