Not literally this one, but one that looks fairly close to it :)

Now, I just have to learn to play...

Ah yes - now I personally prefer Western guitars due to the thinner 
neck, but nylon strings are of benefit to start with, too.

I hope you didn't buy the cheapest out there. A lot of people give up on 
learning to play because they think they're not made for it, while in 
fact it's their guitar that's not made for it :-P

Always heed rule #1: Let it be fun! (But do allow your fingers to hurt :-P)

Never play till your fingers bleed, even if you are reminiscing about a
summer from 40 years back.

Not exactly.  A roommate is hardup for cash, so he had a yard sale. 
Before the sale, he mentioned that he was selling one of his guitars as 
well (he still has two others).  I've always wanted to play, but never 
gotten around to it, so I grabbed the chance :)

Sounds good. If he does have two more, chances are he knows a bit about 
guitars and would refuse to ever owns trashy ones ;-)

I think that cuts both ways. He's only selling the crappiest one. :-)

No, he's also looking to sell another.

Of course, that just means he's keeping the best one, leaving the 
quality of the two he's selling in doubt ;)

Okay, I will help out on the reference. The lyrics went, as follows:

Got my first real six string, bought it at the five and dime.
Played until my fingers bled, it was the summer of 69.


On day I will figure out if I should be impressed that I appear that
age. Not anytime soon, though.

Thanks :oops:

I don't know the song but I am of that age and 1969 was a very good year.

You don't look it and I was surprised that you said 40 years ago.

There was a concert or something, right? I either missed it or don't
remember.

I had forgotten that picture ended up here. I was pestering Google to
see if any of the publicity photos were floating around, and being
amused at the antics of everyone else who shares my name.

Oops! Sorry, I just said that jokingly. I've not seen your picture and I'm not
going to bite on your enticing reply. :P
