Call ahead before driving any distance – things can, and do, sometimes change at the last minute!
Updated 7/6/2023. A note to readers – The GoFundMe page set up by my dear friend Lauren Julian to help defray the costs of my heart attack and hospitalization back in early June of 2022 is now CLOSED. Many thanks, with gratitude, to all my donors and supporters for seeing me through a very, very difficult time. Your collective help has been much appreciated.
Update 10/4/2023: Fellow blogger and author Leah Alford needs help. Sales of her book Catwoods will help cover costs not covered by Medicare. Please stop by and visit her site for more information.

Your photo is really beautiful in full-size. Everything goes so well together — your gaze, your Guild and the signed painting as the background. The lighting is wonderful, highlighting your hair, the vase, and the Guild’s fingerboard creating a visual balance that draws you into the photo. That is the right way to do a selfie.

Thanks, Timothy! It was raining like mad and grey as could be here, so I went looking about the house for a good background that might be interesting. That painting by Rick’s father was always one of my favorites. That Guild is a beautiful guitar seen in full size, and I’ll try to get one next that will hopefully do it justice. The back, sides and neck are flamed maple, and it was one of the last ones built over in Westerly, Rhode Island before Fender bought Guild and moved the factory to the west coast.

Sounds like a beautiful guitar. I forward to seeing photos of it.

Oh how wonderful! I have a guitar that my dad gifted me 20 years ago. After playing for a number of years, I set it aside but just plucked away with a friend at Christmas. I’m very rusty and need to practice. I did just get a Ukelele for Christmas from my husband. I’ve been wanting one for awhile, so I’m out to get a tuner today so I can get down to figuring it out. I like the size and portability of it and the sound too. Do you ever visit ‘Burberry Acoustic Performances’ on You Tube? Just wonderful singer/song writer performances. Very inspiring for me. You may enjoy them too. I subscribed so I don’t miss a single one. I’ll share a link here

Thanks for stopping by, Boomdee! I hadn’t heard of that You Tube site and thanks for the link! That was a great gift your father gave you. Please do start practicing again, and I think the more people who make music of any kind, the better.
You have a beautiful site, and I love all the crafting you do!

I agree with Timothy about the photo. Wonderful you have a Guild. I grew up in Connecticut and we vacationed in Westerly, so I know it. My bothers are the musicians, I’m the painter. So I like the composition and the complementary colors in the photo and would love to see that painting close up, looks beautiful.

Hi Angela, thanks for stopping by and the kind comments! The painting was made by my husband’s father, long ago. I will photograph it, and include it in the next post towards the end of June. Thank you for your interest in it!
So you would know that the old Guild factory was in Westerly. That Guild 12-string was a special factory order through Mandolin Brothers on Staten Island.

Thank you so much for stopping by Michel, and for the kind comments! The photo was a selfie from December, 2014 with the camera set on delay so I could get in place. I took quite a few photos before I got that one. Time marches on, and at some point I will have to do a new selfie. 🙂
Rick’s father was the artist who did the painting in the background. He passed away many, many years ago, and it is nice to have that painting here to remember him by.
