And the band played on

Tagle brought in his acoustic guitar to work today. It is a black Ibanez PF20 with either mother of pearl or abalone inlay around the sound-hole resembling bats. There is a similar inlay in the middle of the back as well as all the seams on the body. I am seriously pumped and now have plans to play a few tunes this weekend. I will replace the strings and put the guitar in A440 first. Tagel wants to take me out of Addis for a picnic with his family on Sunday. We will chat Sunday morning but he anticipates leaving about 10AM and spending the whole day out of Addis. I will be calling my Sweet Thing and playing the Addis Ababa debut of Waiting for a Girl Like You over the Pacific oceanic airwaves :)
