PAM & LILLY

Pam has a new Guitar....her name is Lilly.

Sometime a million years ago, Pam's parents bought her a guitar. It was an Alvarez and a good guitar to learn to play. Pam had every intention of learning to play the guitar. It was on her list of things to do. But, life got in her way. Finding a job and meeting me became more time consuming. Then moving to California, getting married, and buying a home...well, life just takes up your time. Then Pam had Jack. Jack can eat up a bunch of time too, except Jack likes it when Mommy plays the guitar. Bingo. A reason to take Guitar Lessons.

Pam began guitar lessons about 60 days ago and Jack loves it when Mommy plays for him. In the process Pam started to get good at playing. That old Alvarez guitar needed new strings and then we began looking at new guitars. After considerable research, Pam decided on Taylor Guitars. They are made nearby in San Diego county. It turns out that the largest Taylor Dealer is only three miles from our home AND........they had a discount program that ended on May 31.

So yesterday Pam bought a new Taylor 414 GCLE. It is very nice and sounds "full" and "mellow". I have learned that guitar sounds are much like the flavors in wine..oaky, and fruity and you know. It won't be long before Pam is playing unpluged on MTV.
