Happy Birthday to me!
Published May 29th, 2007 in MusicIt was my birthday on Sunday (42 years on the planet). As usual, I was asked what I wanted. Usually I reply with an unintelligible mumble or a request for socks, but this year I decided to shoot for the stars. I replied “a 12 string electric-acoustic guitar please!”
Much to my astonishment, this is exactly what I got!
Huge thanks to Libby and Fergus. You can see a bigger picture of my lovely new Yamaha APX700 12 string here. I’ve had an old Yamaha FG 180 6 string acoustic for 25 years and it has never let me down, so I like Yamaha guitars 
After a while noodling with the new 12 string, I found myself playing around with finger picking, something I’ve never got into before. It sounded fabulous, so I’m now working on a tab I downloaded of a song called “in the evening” in open d tuning. Yee hah varmint. I think I may have to get into check shirts and start calling myself Bobby-Jay.
Stumble it!
