One of the Best Gifts

Share one of the best gifts you’ve ever received.

Definitely my classical guitar. No question about it . It stayed in the case for a while because it was so very special and I was afraid to play it!

My parents are and were both musicians and I grew up with music, playing a little violin and piano. Even though I loved it, the passion of music was best displayed through me as a dancer. So began the journey of years office and dance , alongside my musical parents, who supported my dancing the whole way.

Somewhere in the middle they stumbled upon a beautiful Alvarez Yairi in an old music store in the same town I went to school in. It was a tremendously good buy, due to imperfections. Ironically , but not ironically , I was just beginning to study with a classical guitar teacher at FSU, where I was also studying dance.

The guitar reminds of a special time in life each time I see it. It has beautiful pearl pegs on the tuners, symbolic of one of the finer things in life.

Thanks so much Mom and Dad, and mostly to God my Father , who gives nothing but good things.
