I have been dating my boyfriend for over 8 months and he knows and has seen what a huge Caglehead I am, with my license plate and all my autographs and pictures from the concerts. Well he found a guitar on Ebay that was autographed by Chris when he was at a golf tournament out in Arizona (thats what the seller said). All he would tell me the past month was that he was about to bust at the seams and wished Christmas would hurry up and get here. Well it did today thank goodness for that. He brought in two large packages at my parents for me to open. I was so excited !!! My mom had the camera ready and was anxiously awaiting for me to tear through the wrapping paper and find my gift. My mom and dad had known since like the beginning December !!! I upwrapped the gift and saw that it was a guitar and started to cry because I had said that I wanted to learn how to play, he told me to open it that there was more inside, that it wasnt just a regular guitar. I opened the box and saw Chris' autograph and well, you know what happened next...a total waterfall from my eyes !!! I was so excited to have this to add to my collection of all of my other stuff from my past concerts and all. Well, now for the second bigger box. This was from my boyfriend and his parents, I opened the box and it was a very nice guitar case!!! He and my sister held the box down while I pulled the case out. He told me to look inside that this was one of the nicest guitar cases he had ever seen and that I should see it!!! Well, I carefully set it down on the floor and opened it slowly, and inside I found a brand new Fender Squier Acoustic guitar to start learning on!!!! Well, needless to say, it was like the Hoover Dam let loose out of my eyes !!! Even my mom and my sister were crying !!! I saw my dad get teary eyed as well. I had the most wonderful Christmas ever !!! I hope that all who read this had a wonderful Christmas as well and that you have a happy and healthy new year !!! God Bless You All !!! Playin it Loud and Proud !!!!

Geez, what a nice guy! You must still be beside yourself Jen! Congrats on your fantastic gift, what a wonderful Christmas memory!
Best of luck with learning, keep us posted on your progress! I come from a large family of self taught, very talented musicians, I'm not one of them, but I've spent many years enjoying the beauty of their music! As we all know, it's such a blessing when you can do that for others. I hope you find that you love it. Best wishes from Utah, **Lisa**

Hey everyone !!! Just a note, I practiced today for about an hour, but I know Im going to need alot more time, I just cant seem to get my fingers to move like they need to..Jim told me I would need to do hand stretches and all and I would get the hang of it the more I practiced. Its alot of fun, I promise I will keep practicing and keep you all posted...Ü Have a great new year !!!! God Bless You All and Keep Playin It Loud !!!! Ü

You are such a "lucky" girl to have such a "sweet" guy! My hubby took me to see Chris in concert for my 19th anniversary! I thought that was out of this world! But a guitar signed by "our" man! Enjoy....and best of luck on your lessons!
