Well, as luck woudl have it, I just happened to be along with Santa during her final Christmas preparations ... so she asked me to be sure I picked out the best Baby Larrivee from the guitar store's inventory. Since I knew it would be the last time I played it 'til after Christmas, I took a very careful look/listen to both instruments they had in stock - just to make sure I made the correct choice, mind you ... not to play it for as long as possible. It seems Santa has been very thoughtful indeed, this year!
