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! http://tinyurl.com/2ek6ze Check me out!!!;~D
