Topic: Norman Gone to a Good Home

Well, my old Norman ST40 has now officially gone to a good home. The young man who I loaned it to last Fall has been playing it regularly, and this has given him some satisfaction while at the same time reducing the "acting out" he had been doing. He's actually getting pretty good! I'd been hoping he'd call one day to ask about buying it, although I never intended on taking any cash ... just wanted to hear him say it. He called last evening and it's officially his. The power of music wins again!

Good for you and good for him.  I have a Fender acoustic sitting here for a long time waiting for someone in my life to get interested and I will do the same.

I have finally found happiness in my life.  Guitars, singing, beer and camping.  And they all intertwine wonderfully.

It must be a thing with Fender Acoustics. I gave one to my niece to learn on. She never did learn. It now sits in a closet collecting dust. It was one of the better one`s. Not the new cheap ones they sell now for 90.00.

Re: Norman Gone to a Good Home

I had an old Vester acoustic electric, which I donated to the local prison. An local order of nuns works with the inmates to get them playing music and getting their creative instincts working as part of their rehab back into the real world. The prisoners have a public concert once in a while and it was good to see the old gat being used for the good of those guys

Good on you also, Twang Town! It certainly feels great to witness someone else learning to enjoy music, and all of the many personal benefits that stem from it.
