Serendipity
Aug. 27th, 2009 09:06 pmMy darling, darling husband got me a hard-shelled guitar case for my birthday, so my instrument can be safe during travel. ("United Breaks Guitars" notwithstanding!)
So, I put my guitar in it's spiffy new case, and the worn and beaten cardboard case I put back, thinking it was lonely without a guitar to fill it.
On the way home from the YMCA tonight, we passed a house setting up a garage sale, and I spotted a guitar, did a U-Turn, and checked it out. The tuning pegs were sound. The strings were old, but the guitar sounded okay - not as sweet as mine, but all right. I asked how much, and was able to buy it for ten dollars! It will probably cost more to replace the strings than it did to get the guitar itself!
Now my Irish has a guitar to grow into once his three-quarters one becomes too small and awkward for him to play. I am most pleased.
