Two or three weeks ago we’ve got opportunity to visit my husband’s alma mater, which I also have mentioned in my post last week. It was a joyous day as we were able to visit his old dormitory and was reunited with his landlord’s children who are also his friends. On that dormitory his once roommate and good friend Xerxis intentionally left (donated) his electric guitar for the lodgers to love and music and learn the instrument.
Upon our visit we saw the guitar hanging on the wall and we were told that it has been there hanging to quite a while since it has been damaged. Few strings were missing, the sensors were busted and the distortion pedal is no longer working. None of the lodgers care to replace the damaged parts or cared to fix it.
My husband loves that guitar since that’s where he learned how to play the instrument. We offered to fix the instrument. We replaced the strings as well as bought a set of lace sensor. We went home the next day. Little did we know that we awakened the interest of the new young lodgers to learn and enjoy Xerxis’ treasure. Yesterday, Jerry called us over the phone to inform that the guitar is at its best once again since the lodgers shelled out some cash to purchase a new Wampler Sovereign Distortion Guitar Effects Pedal. Their joy was so evident for while Jerry was talking to us in the phone the borders in the background were happily singing and playing the guitar. For my husband it was a restored joyful sound.
