...was the very first album I ever owned, framed for hanging. Not a copy of it--the worn and scuffed up original my mom bought for me for Christmas in 1978. My sister Kat sent me this as a present, and I have to say I'm just tickled pink by it. :)

It's hanging up above me in Spare Oom at the moment:




The frame also holds the ticket to the Paul McCartney show I went to in Boston in 2002, and there was an envelope containing a copy of the Worcester Telegram story about George Harrison being spotted at Solomon Pond Mall . Here's a closer shot of it:



This means that I've received this album three times for Christmas--the first one in 1978, the CD issue in 1993, and the original again today!

Thanks, Kat! :)

...was a rather expensive gift certificate to Haight Ashbury Music Center so I can buy me a new electric bass!! WOOOT!!

One of the many reasons I love [livejournal.com profile] emmalyon. :)


For the record (ha! see what I did there?), I've been eyeing one of the Ibanez basses there I do quite like the Ibanez line of guitars, but I'll definitely look around and see what I like.

I've decided that the litmus test is to see how easily I can play the bassline to The Smithereens' "Blood and Roses". ;)
