A Groovy Kind Of Love

Andy left Penang at around 5pm and only reached Ipoh around 8pm, thank God he reached home safely despite the rain and driving in the dark. While unloading his stuff from his boot and car, I saw a guitar "standing" behind the driver's seat. Andy said, "Happy Birthday, Mom..." but it never crossed my mind that the guitar was for me. I said Thank You and proceeded to help him unload his stuff. Then he asked me, "Nice or not?" HUH? I gave him a surprise look and then only it dawned upon me that the Guitar is actually my Birthday Gift! Hahahahaa... what was I thinking at that moment? I really don't know... I guess I was too happy to see him and acknowledge what he had brought home.... A Blur Mother!

Blur as I am, I was taken beyond words....
Groovy Guitar...
Narrower than my old faithful one...
Easier to hold...
Acoustic guitar...
I need some accessories for the pick-up...
Pick-up where I can attach to amplifier...
Trying out my Gift...
Now with the Groovy Guitar,
I guess I should take up lessons to "groove" up!
LOL...
Thank you, Sons... for the Musical Gift!
Love it very much!
