Listening to Peter Paul and Mary tonight (for reasons) and thinking about how my primary reason for learning guitar was so that I could play folk songs with my dad.

I've got thinky-thoughts on the subject of why I haven't picked up the guitar lately, that I haven't yet properly thought through. But there sure are a lot of 'em going around in there.

@emery And that's okay: enjoy your time with the guitar, memory, and imagination. ♥️

@emery It's 1.1 ounces and the whorl looks a little like an umbrella. I took it for a test run on some blended roving and really love how light but balanced it is. It's Australian Red Gum with a Mahogany shaft and a beauty to look at and work with. Here's the not so great picture that induced me to buy it.
