BDay GDay

It's kind of weird to be blogging my own birthday but I wanted to share the big news of the newest member of Samour Sounds.  It's not a person, but her name is Taylor!

 
I mentioned to Rob that I was thinking it was time for me to upgrade my guitar and off to the races we went.  We spent almost an hour in Guitar Center and two whole hours in Sam Ash and finally decided on this one, bag included.  It is a Taylor guitar, one of the best acoustic brands.
 
 
 
Here she is at home.  I call her "she" because her name is Taylor, but actually that's a misnomer since the creator of the company is a man.  But of course I'll refer to it as a "she" since it's a pretty guitar that has the name Taylor on it, and let's face it, it's hard not to picture Taylor Swift with all those signs!
 

 
A little bit closer.
 


 
So Taylor came a week premature to my birthday - she just couldn't resist - and neither could Rob!  I couldn't resist posing with it either!
 
Guitar-me!
 

 
Do you want to hear what she sounds like?
 
 
That is "Easy" by Sheryl Crow, a song Rob, Spenser, and I have been working on.
 
 
Today, on the actual birthday, I took Sienna to practice at 6:45 a.m. and then had a nice breakfast at Mimi's CafĂ©. 
 
 
For dinner, we all went to Chili's and then it was time for cake!
 


 
If you're not sure how old I am just check out the numbers I'm holding up!
 



 
I'd say that was a great birthday!
