Silvertone Guitar

Back in 1970-1972, my folks got me an accoustic guitar. I remember going to Sears, down the escalator to the appliances dept. There, in one aisle, was their limited selection of guitars.  If I remember correctly, it was $12 and some change.  It even came with a case!

I still have this guitar, and I took it out today.  It's sadly out of tune!  

My friend Shirley and I started to take guitar lessons from someone at St Lawrence.  We were so young! I don't remember what my expectations were for the lessons, but I do remember learning to play Norwegian Wood.  Looking back, I think the teacher was a Beatles fan!

My guitar is over 50 years old. What a lot of memories made with it! Happy times!
