Wow, tough story there Kenny! That would certainly have most people singin' the Blues, yet you play Jazz instead so that's pretty telling of the stuff you're made of! 
As for the guitar, looks like a player to me. I never judge the decorations when it's done to look good on stage. Things usually have to be over the top there! 
Hi Craig ,
Yes, regarding my Kramer . She certainly is a player .
In addition to being a player she is also a screamer and a late night silk sheet pillow moaner ...
As far as the tough personal story go's , yes looking back it certainly was a rough section of my life ...
Fortunately for me the one smart thing that I did was to stay clean and sober and learn to deal with the pain ...
That seems to be the only thing that I did right that got me through it...
Sure hope to see my son someday ......
thanks ...

Very cool story Kenny. I'm glad you were reunited.
Merry Christmas mate.
Hi Daryl ,
Yes , Once upon a time I was doing things and going places ..Then life threw me a curve ball ...
Getting my guitar back after all this time is a good sign that maybe I can start over again and get back on track .
Merry Christmas to you and yours ....

Great story Kenny, I love a happy ending! 
Hi James,
It took a lot of courage for me to put myself out there and share this story ...
I was on the fence about sharing this story when I first got my guitar back after all these years ...
What swayed me was its really all about the people that are involved in the story's ..( not myself )
They are the true givers of the gift .
I'm very happy you enjoyed the story
all the best,
Kenny
