I'm still here!

I've been busy. I take my granddaughter to the park just about every week night, and she still calls me "Dad", though we've all been working pretty hard to call me "Grampa" in front of her. She just won't!

I've played two weddings in the last little while. I bought a piano, which is something I've long wanted. My parents generously offered to buy me this really nice set of pickups for my Fender Telecaster. I had some trouble with them, however.

When the store put them in, only one of the pickups was good. He had to put the guitar back together twice, because I found a problem with how it sounded in the middle blade. Then last night, the pickup collapsed through the pick guard, as one of the screws holding it on had not been set properly. I took the guitar apart myself (something I have not done in twenty years), and fixed it.

I recorded this song to test it out, afterwards. This piece is notable for also featuring my new piano. :)
