Dude, that was awesome. But what is that mess all jobbled up around the head?
Those are all necklaces that I have worn at different stages in my life. They all represent/hold a different identity I have passed through and I can remember the essence of who I was as a person and player when I look at them. The most bulky one is my fathers necklace that I wore for a while after he died. He was a buddhist priest, so each of those beads has it's own unique significance. It rattles a bit when i shake it, but the personal meaning makes it worth it for me.

Is it a lot of work to change the strings?
Here. as promised, is my daughter with her Fender acoustic and Widget the African Grey. The Ovation Magnum was packed away during house maintenance or I would have had her pose with it instead of the Fender; but she actually plays the Fender more often these days.

It's not as hard as you may think...I just need to thread them underneath everything. The main concern is keeping everything tight to the head because over time it can shake a bit loose.
