Location: Derry NH | Have my 11 yr old daughter this weekend. After all the running around, we settled in for some string time. She's picking up most of Wish You Were Here and Sunshine Of Your Love pretty quick.
When she is here, my 1112 is a stranger to me! I think I'm Your Captain will be next. God love her, she's blowing on some burning fingertips right now! Back when I started, I fumbled through simple stuff like Song Sung Blue. |

The solution to the 1112 problem is to buy her a nice Ovation of her own. Sounds like a good excuse to me for buying a quality guitar... |

You're an awesome dad, and sounds like you're pretty lucky in the daughter department too! |

Location: Derry NH | No kidding!! To be honest, the pending sale ball was rolling before the above mentioned solution to my problem. And thanks, my Lili is an amazing kid. Friggin straight A's, plays violin, keyboard, flute and guitar! Also makes a kick butt marinade for elk steaks, will out-eat most anyone in alligator tail or crab legs. Wish I had her metabolism. If I even look at half that, I gain 15 lbs. |

OK, the oldest went astray and bought her own Ibanez because her guitar teacher didn't like those "plastic bowl" guitars.

Location: Boise, Idaho | That sounds about right, but it was about 5 years ago and I can't keep track of the Ovation model numbers, much less Ibanez. |

Location: Utah | Sara started with an Applause AA13 when she was a beginning student, then talked me into buying a Red Flame 1778T. I could't resist getting her an Adamas for graduation. A Preacher Deluxe showed up with her name on it at one point.
I don't think she or the wife have caught onto the hidden bonus to me. |

Location: Boise, Idaho | I'll bet Sara and your wife are smarter than you give them credit for. Just like our daughters, Sara reaps the benefits of participating in the conspiracy. And as long as they enjoy something that Dad also enjoys, why not? I didn't get anything out of their American Doll collections.
Rent "Whip It" when you get a chance. It's about a daughter rebelling against beauty pagents in favor of roller derby, but it kind of addresses that father daughter thing. |
