2) The Blond Guitar
My most valuable possession is an
old, slightly warped blond guitar--the first instrument I taught myself
how to play. It's nothing fancy, just
a Madeira folk guitar, all scuffedand scratched and finger-printed.
At the top is a bramble of copper-
wound strings, each one hookedthrough the eye of a silver tuning
key.

The strings are stretched down a
long, slim neck, its frets tarnished, thewood worn by years of fingers
pressing chords and picking notes.
The body of the Madeira is shapedlike an enormous yellow pear, one
that was slightly damaged in
shipping. The blond wood has beenchipped and gouged to gray,
particularly where the pick guard fell
off years ago.

No, it's not a beautiful instrument,
but it still lets me make music, and
for that I will always treasure it.
