For those of you that have been out of the loop. It is on! I challenged wes to raise the stakes and he got cocky on me. For those that don't know, Wes gets his strings for "free" (contract with Martin). Oh Wesley, why have you sold yourself to the industry. I can see it now, as I take my youth group to a Toby Mac concert Wes opens alongside of Jaci Valasquez and sings a duet with Britt Nicole while strumming his shiny, free, new Martin strings. O what a scene, it's decision time for the students. Doug Fields has delivered a heart tugging message on purity and Wes takes the stage to play "Give us clean hands" and when the chorus builds guess who steps in to harmonize with him. You guessed it Steven Curtis Chapman with his free martin guitar strings too. Oh the scene is intense with tears as Wes and Steven's eyes connect knowing very well what is about to happen will be a life changing track on the WOW 2008 new release. An anthem breaks lose and from Give us clean hands, an acapella (no free strings needed) come out with the chorus of "You never let go". yes, everything is perfect as they start playing again. Uh Oh, wes's string breaks and the only strings he has are the one's he won from Steve. they are elixirs, no! Does wes keep playing and worshipping or would this worship be illegal becasue he broke contract with Martin. His WOW 2008 recording is in jeopardy. Wes chooses right and changes strings quickly as Steven plays softly. Two pros at work. Amazing.
Any way, this will never happen because tonight Va. Tech gets it's KansASS wooped up and down the field. Sorry about the spelling pun, did it for shock factor. wesley when Kansas wins, send me some D'addarios. They are the cheap brand, b/c that's what us non-contracted musicians can afford. Tell Out of Eden, Avalon, Toby, Michael Tait, Phil Joel, and the rest of the Christian Pop industry I said hi. Jeff, maybe with the money wes saves on my strings he can send you a set too.
p.s.
Love you wes, you really are the most talented musician I know.

hilarious...
but not gonna happen. Wesley Gaines exclusively picks winners and plays with winners: he plays Martin Guitars with Martin strings and a Martin pick sometimes with Martin Smith. Mr. Martin was his sixth grade grammar teacher. The Jayhawks will have their Kans-ASSES handed to them tonight.
I had Gary too! What a man.
