How cute is that!

[coffeegyrl]

Rudies are the best folks anywhere! Now Jenny has a tangible gift of Rudie Vibes. Thanks everyone for doing this for our sister.

[Greener]

If it's a little Martin, does that make it a Martini?

[Elliott]

For those of you who have not had the pleasure of meeting Greener, you have somehing to look forward to. She is so soft spoken that most of the time, if there is any background noise, I have to ask her to repeat whatever she said at least once. It's not a timid thing, she's just very calm and quiet. And at least once a day, she'll say something that makes any food in your mouth fly all the way to the other side of the room. Zingers... deeply cleaver ones. And getting the giggles only makes matters worse.

[Roady]

I bet you'll be just glowing in that photo of you and your new Martin. Can't wait!

[TiminOhio]

Wow!
My granddaughter and I had to lug our inexpensive guitars to a Janis concert and then wait at the end of the line - seemed like an hour - just to get them autographed!! But Janis was still so gracious about it and her marker still had ink left in it.
I hope you get to play it a lot;) - do you have a Janis Ian songbook?

deeply cleaver ones.

CLEAVER ones?? Would those be the large, chopping ones, or the Wally and Beave ones?? Just askin'...

[Elliott]

The beaver kind... bless your heart... And arn't you a little ruff on me?

[coffeegyrl]

Elliott, you deserve to have a ruff! It could go with so many of your outfits (as long as it was black.)
;)

[Elliott]

I do, don't I. Thank you very much! ;)

[Eva]

Jenny, that's really cool.
