This is me with my lovely new Fender CD60. It was a bargain and it's a really nice guitar- playable, a good tone, new guitar smell :). It's chinese made from laminate wood, but you can't expect too much for $160 can you? I've been learning to finger pick, and Andy must be sick of hearing me playing the same simple 12 bar piece over and over again, but he is very patient. I've nearly got the hang of it, which is good because I've shreaded my fingertips! I'm going to take a class next month with Beth, the girl that sits next to me in the lab. I'm hoping to have learned all the major, minor and seventh chords by then as well as nailing the blues tune and one song... actually, that's a high standard, I'd settle for just being able to play without my fingers falling off.

Hello flower.
Sounds like you've been having a good time and settling in ok.
I'm sorry I missed you leaving, I didn't get the email you sent me until after you'd gone, cos I haven't been online much recently. It sucks that I didn't get to say goodbye properly.
Ah well, I'm sure you'll be back at some point, and maybe I could come visit one day? (cos I'm really great at visiting people...NOT).
On an amusing note, apparently Pete Iking left his fairly lucrative IT job to do...wait for it...Chocolate Fountain Hire. Yes he has set up his own business hiring out chocolate fountains for corporate events. The world gets more and more bizarre by the day!
I'm here for 18 months tops and I'll be back at some point for my dreaded viva. Of course you are welcome to come and visit, there isn't much to do in Laramie but it's a friendly place!
You made my day with that news about Pete, you really did. It's the funniest thing I've ever heard!! It'll probably make him rich but I'll still be laughing..
BTW hope the bass lessons are going ok- maybe if I get ok on guitar we could jam when I'm back :)
