So I broke out the old stratocaster today to play for the kids. The guitar is still in amazing condition. The amazing part is the old black and white beauty(which has been on many tours and many shows) still can make the crowd dance. The guitar is much older and the audiance much younger but the soul is still in the guitar and it’s owner. Someday that guitar will be past to the next generation. Hopefully it will make a whole other generation sing and dance. In September I have officialy owned that guitar for 18 years! More then half my life. Such good memories. I hope everyone else who played with me or listened to me has fond memories also.
