    So, Mary, you just proved that it is about 80% player and 20% instrument. While not quite the same reception as The Beatles enjoyed when they landed in New York, you are going to be recognized in the States. You are the bomb! Great to see you signing with Rick and Rhett. Enjoy your holiday.

    That 14th Ave Guitar Center has been there for ages. I bought my digital piano there back in 2004.

    I bet a street musician would love that guitar once you head back home. At least you'd know it gets played daily and is helping a fellow musician make a living. :) Great video!
