It's nice that not every date with someone from online is a living hell. The guy I met today is an amazing musician and took me to the Guitar Center, which is located below Times Square. Maybe in the middle of the day it's a living hell as reported in various online publications but on Saturday night it was pretty empty and my date got a chance to play selections from Franz Liszt and his own compositions on keyboard as well as Hendrix, his own compositions and the work of some guy named Eric Johnson, whom he adores on guitar.
To my amazement he had never heard Steely Dan (he's on the young side) so I immediately had to send him Youtube clips of the Dan.
