Guitar, Part II

Redhead and I recently took a little driving vacation to the city of my undergrad alma mater, a little beach town. Though proficient in early music, and a singer in particular, until this trip my girl did not really play any small stringed instruments (though in the interest of full disclosure she did play upright bass in high school). But on the trip she decided to branch out and we got a little $50 classic guitar, beaten but authentic and beautiful, and with a few quick lessons she was playing and singling along to some of her favorite songs. It’s a wonderful thing to be able to share an instrument with your partner.
