Very moving story, but I didn’t tear up ’till Cindy started playing. I play slide, both acoustic and electric so my tear ducts don’t lie. Beautiful.

The story of how you acquired this killed me , a few tears for sure .
Lost my brother from the same disease 18 years ago .
You have a Great Heart & Soul. I’m sure the elderly parents are smiling
when they hear this instrument in your very capable hands .
Glad you owe it versus a collector .
Play on .
