My wife and kids had a surprise for me.
After a 44th Birthday dinner, they put me in the shotgun seat of the jeep and blindfolded me.
They drove me around Shebgoygan for awhile so I wouldn't figure out what store we were going to.
After enough twists, turns and fast and slow to make a ballerina dizzy, we finally stopped... parallel parked even.
They helped me out of the jeep, led me across the sidewalk and into a door.... then through a store.
Then they pulled the blindfold off and yelled "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!"What I saw was a rack full of guitars... Electric Guitars!They told me how much I had to spend, so I dove into pure Shangri La.
I played Epiphones, Gibsons, Fenders... then I moved to the rack of guitars that were actually in my price range.;~D
I chose a Squier Stratocaster. That's right, the best Strat the good artisans of Rodesia put out. From Rodesia with Love!
((Because of the cost, it was a combination Birthday/Father's Day Present... but whose complaining.;~D)))
Thanks Pam and kids!
