ambericaToday is my birthday! I think I am 28 years old now. Hooray! Jon took me out yesterday and bought me a new guitar. This was a HUGE surprise, very unexpected, but he was intent on doing it and wouldn't leave me alone about it until I picked one out. It was very sweet of him. He knows I've been really pining for one to play around the house. I never had a guitar of my own - I kept my mom's at my apartment for a few years, but it was always "her" guitar - she's had it since she was 14, it is with her in her senior high school portrait. It is hers. No one can ever change that. I would not feel right bringing it down here to the cities.
We always had about 6 guitars in the house when I was a kid living at home. And a piano. For a few years, we had two pianos! And a couple clarinets. One of the guitars was a bass. Drums. Keyboards. All kinds of things. Music is great. Guitars are great. So now I have a piano and a guitar right here in my home! And my little recorder and kazoo, of course. All I need now is a harmonica and a ukulele and I will be ready to go annoy the world.
I saw a ukulele at the music shop. I haven't played one since I was about 12 years old. It was not hard, I'm sure I could pick it up again in no time. It doesn't play the same way as a guitar or a bass - the tuning is totally different - but it is still easy and cute and fun. I would play "Tiptoe Through The Tulips" a million times and sing like Tiny Tim if I had my own ukulele. I think that's why Jon was reluctant to buy me one. I shouldn't have told him the truth about that.
I feel good. I can't wait til I'm 30. Jon is so lucky... he makes 30 look gooood.
