Wouldn't This Look Good on My Wall?

Our town is raising money for a new library and this guitar is being raffled. It was donated by Aerosmith and signed by all the band members.

In a previous post I showed a picture of Steve Tyler's house on Lake Sunapee. Here's a few interesting tidbits on his link to Sunapee.

1. Steve Tyler's grandparents ran a music camp called Trowrico. (If anyone saw VH1's Behind the Music of Aerosmith, he is sitting on the grass there for his interview.)

Sunapee has a brick walkway in the harbor with personalized bricks. Here is the brick commemorating the music camp:



2. When the band first started, they played local gigs, including the Sunapee High School prom in 1971. A few years later, my older sisters saw them play a concert at a race track 2 towns over.

3. My sister was out in our boat one summer and managed to get Steve to come out onto his dock to chat.

4. When I was home from college one summer, I babysat for his daughter Mia. She was only about 6 years old at the time and a very sweet girl. I took her out in my boat and she thought I was wonderful! Steve and his wife were separated/divorced or maybe just still fighting at the time so he wasn't around. Cyrinda Tyler didn't pay much attention to Mia and didn't really care who watched her. It was not a typical babsitting gig, I actually just took her with me. Now I wished we had hung out at her house, at least to look around...

4. Steve and his wife also have a brick on this walkway in the harbor. (His name was Tallarico before he got famous.) Cranky and I have one with our names and another for the kids too.


And of course one for the band:



The drawing for the guitar is tomorrow afternoon. Wish me luck!
