    Treasure this time! As the others have said, the music was outstanding. But all the way through I was thinking about the strong bond and common purpose you two share. So many people do not have this kind of connection with their children. It will add so much meaning to your lives. You will appreciate this evermore as the years go by.

    Lovely!. Do you know the American guitarist Jim Campilongo? He does a lot of nice pedal steel sounding stuff on a tele, but without the b bender. (Not that there's anything wrong with a b bender!)

    Doh just read the description, that's a b and g bender! Nuts!

    Absolutely! Campilongo plays some amazing guitar! Interestingly, a late friend and former bandmate of mine introduced me to Jim's music (and even played drums for him once upon a time.)

    Yeah, it definitely takes some getting used to manipulating both of those bender levers, but it's really fun trying to get those quasi-steel guitar sounds.

    Thanks @johnb4871 I tried to get her to learn some easier tunes first, but she really wanted to work on that one as well as some of my other compositions.

    I like your style, Penelope. You're getting a lot out of the tune by playing rhythm and melody simultaneously. That's not easy to pull off, yet you did! I too have an MD 305. They're wonderful instruments and remarkable for the price. I find mine a little hard to mic (my shoestring gear budget may have something to do with that), so kudos to Dad for doing nice work there. Look forward to seeing you again in the future!
