My "Unplugged" Dream

I have always had this dream of mine...as we move forward in our careers and working life and At the back of my mind...all of this will always have an ending... and eventually just like a boxer...one would have to hang his gloves to rest when the time has come and be that as it may...I am quite sure that I would bring myself to that point in time...someday..it will come for sure...and I will retire...from work...and sure enough I am not getting any younger these days...my body does aches from the abuse of my younger years...and when I Do come to that point I want to realize my "Unplugged" Dream of having my own "College Cafe Acoustic Bar or Lounge" and I foresee a set-up where during the daytime it could operate as a Restaurant/food house and during the evenings as a resto-bar...where I can hang out and I could bring along friends to Jam with or perform acoustic gigs, have open mike nights, enjoy a beer or two but most of all play acoustic music for he crowd... I envision it with a small stage in the corner just like one in the picture...and I am going to need a good pa system...a place where a room that will have great acoustics...a high chair with guitars on the side...I will have to make a great investment on the musical instruments and sound stage system that would be required to make a great plae for jamming ...a good amp that I have my eyes on is his Roland AC-60

AC-60: Acoustic Chorus Guitar Amplifier

Features

Although there are many acoustic amps on the market today, few of them can compete with the rich, natural tone of the compact AC-60 Acoustic Chorus amplifier. This innovative stereo amp uses sophisticated digital signal processing to deliver a crisp sound with lush stereo/multi-band chorus—including a new “wide” mode—plus delay/reverb and impressive Auto Anti-Feedback control. And with its 2-channel Mic/Line design and stand-mountable configuration, the AC-60 is clearly heads above the competition.

• Compact stereo acoustic amplifier with pure, natural tone and excellent projection
• 2-Channel design: Guitar input and Mic/Line input with Phantom Power
• Stereo 30-watt/dual 6.5-inch speaker configuration loud enough for club gigs and small PA applications
• Onboard DSP delivers lush stereo/multi-band chorus, newly developed “wide” chorus and delay/reverb with footswitch control
• Built-in Auto Anti-Feedback controls allow for maximum volume without feedback
• Convenient Mute switch for silent tuning on stage
• Stereo Line Out for PA and recording applications; Subwoofer output
• Built-in tilt stand offers better acoustic projection; can also be mounted on commercially available speaker stands

Acoustic guitars in guitar stands...along with an acoustic chorus amp...maybe put in a bass guitar and a beat box with it...amber lights...or stage lights...and a roomful of people enjoying good live acoustic music...

Another idea of mine is to acquire a fender passport for the PA system
