This guitar of mine is now over 50 years old! My parents bought it for me from Geovanni’s Music in Edmonton in the fall of 1970 when I was entering grade 3. Its very first performance was at the School Christmas concert that year when I played a few Christmas songs. I will never forget the night that my parents and I brought it home: how it smelled! how it looked! So many possibilities! And now there are so many memories tied up with this guitar…sigh. I’ve been so blessed! Thank you Mom and Dad; Thank you Universe!
