Hi Cathy and Jesse Joe,

Cathy: It's a Martin D-35. I bought it new in 1980. It was how I established my credit history as a teenager. It took me two years to pay for it, and I had to spend about two months of that cleaning restaurant toilets to finish paying if off. It was worth it. I have since bought other guitars of course but nothing as nice. Someday I'll expand my collection to include something with a wider fingerboard. I have out-sized hands I'm afraid.

Jesse Joe: thanks for the welcome. I thought for sure that my idea for the screen name would be taken. There are a couple of similar ones but lucky for me (for once) I was actually able to use my first choice -though I mis-spelled it at first and had to re-register to get it right!
