9. Turns out it was actually made in '65. It's a Buescher Aristocrat. A little scratched up but
other than that it seems to bee in good shape.

really looking forward to learning how to play the Pink Panther theme. LOL

22. My littler son wants to play drums. Too bad he didn't think of it last month, before his
grandfather put his uncle's old snare into the grange rummage sale. :P
