Cute Little Bastards

Congrats on your new found Guitar Playing Charlie! Yesterday we picked up a used Fender HSS Stratocaster for you and you played it all day. You sound pretty amazing for three weeks of practice on my acoustic Seagull S-6! Happy Birthday!

Today is a good day in so many ways. One of them is the good fortune that brought us Charlie. Happy Birthday Son! I love you.
