Guitars
Over Labor Day Weekend we went to see my grandparents "MawMaw and PawPaw". Years ago (about 27) my dad bought his dad supplies to make a Martin Guitar to give him a "hobby". Well, my grandfather has been making them ever since. Brian (my brother) received No. 4, Andrew (brother) got No. 7, and Joshua (brother) got No 11. Now, PawPaw is currently making numbers 13 and 14, which will go to my sisters Tara and Sarah. Below are some pictures of Tara's (No. 14) The pre-requisite for a guitar is that you have to learn how to play first. And guess what? Number 15 will be for me!! PawPaw's guitars are beautiful to look at and have a gorgeous tone. It takes him several months to make one working on it a little at a time. He is a perfectionist. What a legacy to leave for his children and grandchildren.
