alternate tuning, where have you been all my life?!
to think i coulda been playing open DADGAD chords all this time... *smacking forehead*
anyway, i came up with a name for my guitar:
- samuel Xavier martin -
what? explain the name? sure! his first name is samuel because he's a lot like old testament samuel. hannah (which coincidentally means grace) was barren and she prayed earnestly for a son, promising the Lord that if He blessed her with one, she would "give him to the Lord all the days of his life" (1 Sam 1:11 NASB). did you know that i went eight years without my own guitar?? yah... so anyway, when the Lord blessed hannah with a son, "she named him Samuel, saying, 'Because I have asked him of the Lord' " (v. 20). well same here. and so, like hannah, "for this boy [guitar] i prayed, and the Lord has given me my petition which i asked of Him. so i have also dedicated him to the Lord; as long as he lives he is dedicated to the Lord" (v. 27-28).
his middle name is Xavier because i wanted to name him after the X-series line that he's from... model 000X1, to be exact. and his last name is martin cuz... well, cuz he's a martin!

i have a confession to make. i was actually praying for a piano :P but i guess i wasn't meant to have one. yet. anyway, i'm very happy with samuel :) and besides, there are too many female guitars at church... they're all gonna be fighting over samuel! granted, he's smaller and skinnier and more fragile than they are... not much to look at... but he's still da man ;)

ha ha so funny.
Anyhow... if you want my old paino you can have it. It's very hard to tune though so you'll have to find a special kind of tuner.

she didn't say only male.. coz there's enrique but he's always been on sabbatical...
why would you choose the professor's name to be the middle name?
for other names, all i could remember was veronica, patty, and lana? :)
wait... a&a are yours... lana is lawrence's right? and veronica is tim's? or was it antonio? and who the heck are patty and enrique?
btw, vic's guitar is male... even if he ends up giving him a female name... i declared him to be a boy before i gave him up for adoption ;)
tim has both antonio and veronica.. enrique was the name that got stuck on mine. patty i think was raine's. what was vic's guitar's name or you never got around to it? how about eukelele's? :)
which one is antonio? his bass?
is patty lorraine's new guitar or the one that nat has now?
i was gonna name vic's guitar mars... or hershey... or sienna, but then it'd sound too feminine.
i'm sure vic'll give him a good name.
