Brother, cam you spare an amp?

There is nothing like earning something you want. The things I earn are rather mundane: pizza, beer, a pop tart.

Paxton however earned something this summer that I suspect he will value for some time. An electric guitar.

It took him about 4 months of mowing lawns and saving bithday dollars but he finally cleared the number he was looking for and bought a black crafter (don’. Net damage, with an amp, $385. Parents contribution? $25. He bought it from where he takes weekly lessons (it’s called “good n’ loud”) so they had been rooting for him all summer as he fawned over various axes. He almost went with a broken down version for $80 but thought better of it and worked a few more months. They were so inspired gave him $60 off (dropping the total to $325).

Now we just need to learn how to play it like Eddie Van Halen so I can retire.

Here is a clip of pax with his new guitar playing (?) a few licks (about 1:40 in is where he starts playing it).
