Playing Guitar

We have been working very hard, with hardly a day off. Papa said "I can't relax, I wish I had my guitar." Thus began the search for a guitar.

Elder Kapp also plays guitar and gave us the name of a couple music stores. He said he had bought himself a cheap one.

We found a couple cheap guitars. Then stopped at Ukulele Hut. They had 2 steel string guitars and 1 nylon guitar. Elder Thomson played the nylon string guitar, which had been traded in to Ukulele Hut. It is a good quality guitar. Nice sound, but of course Papa had to wait a bit. We went back 3 times.

We had dinner out with the senior couples at Marco's Italian Restaurant with live entertainment - 2 guys playing guitar and singing country music. That was the clincher.

Next day, we went back to the Ukulele Hut to purchase the guitar.

I love it! Not only does playing guitar relax Papa but me as well as I listen to quiet guitar music. It was a great purchase.

    I can relax a little more now knowing that dad has a good guitar to help him relax. I miss listening to him play. Maybe a Skype concert is in order.
