A few days ago, Carol (She-lives) awarded me with Brillante Weblog Premio 2008.
Last week, Jon of GuitarNoize appreciated my blog as “excellent” and named it among the few sites in his list of “who’s who in guitar blogosphere”
A few months ago, Jack of Pribek.net rated me E for excellence (read my list of bloggers that I also awarded back then). Because I haven’t had the time to do it so far, I will say it now: thank you, guys(and gals), for your nice words! I am always happy to know that somebody out there appreciates my posts.
That fills my heart with a strange feeling of satisfaction and happiness. Really, I feel like some kind of balloon right now!
It is very interesting how much motivation such things can give you. This blog is not about money and not money is what keeps it running. This blog is about electric guitars, about acoustic guitars, about rock and blues music, about me, you and everything around music. Such appreciations along with my love for guitars keep this blog running.
So, again, I want to say thanks you for you reading my blog and a bigger thank you to those of you that took the time to subscribe to my RSS feeds(by the way, if you haven’t done it already, subscribe now and get my posts everyday by email or RSS)!
And for all of you, read on because so many post are still waiting to be written here! If I only had the time…

hear hear! I’m the same Ovidiu, I do it because I am passionate about guitars and love finding new products related to guitars. I’m a closet guitar shop owner that never had the balls to open one

Well, Jon, music means passion all over, I guess. If you sing, play or blog about it seems that it is not that easy to earn money from it, isn’t it?
Then the only thing that keeps us going on is the passion for it. We could have a poll here asking people how much did the earn from playing the guitar…I guess that for most of us passion is the only thing that kept the flame burning.

Ovidiu-belated congrats on your awards! You deserve it! You’re constantly updating your great blog-always trying to find something of interest (which you usually do!) for us guitarists. Thanks!
