Public service announcement from The Six-String General

"In air guitar, I’ve seen broken ankles, cuts and bruises…even an amputated toe.

I need to keep things brief today, people. What with the big news from Live Arts and tonight’s tres exciting PCA Trio Party, I’m busier than a one-armed drummer.

Though perhaps not as busy as Tim Granlund, former C-VILLE employee and current air guitar legend by the nom de rock "The Six-String General." And unlike me, Granlund doesn’t make excuses when it comes time to do his job.

"In air guitar, I’ve seen broken ankles, cuts and bruises…even an amputated toe," says Granlund during an eight-part (!) online video series dubbed "How to Play Air Guitar." In the films, Granlund provides invaluable instruction in the areas of performance flair, wardrobe and costumes, and (danger alert) acrobatics.

Words fail me. Fortunately, I have a visual. Good work, Tim!

Let’s poll the audience: How much cash would it take to make you abandon your current job for a life as an air guitarist? Share your stage names and song choices here. (But remember—"No Stairway." Denied!)
