A Bongo Christmas

[Stevie James]

I was over at my Dad's house on Thanksgiving & fell in love with the color of his Stingray-Buttercream. Having played my Affinity for about 2 years now, I fell in love with the Bongo at the local Guitar Center here. I had been looking at several different brands & models before finally deciding on eventually getting a Bongo. Went over to his house today for Christmas dinner, & this is what he got me, I was shocked, & already love it to death.

I can barely put this thing down, again THANKS DAD!!!!!!!

That is a sweet Christmas present! You've got one hip dad. If you're less than 18 years old, all I gotta say is when I was your age, I walked uphill in the snow barefoot and played a piece of crap bass with 10 year old strings

You had strings? You were lucky! I had to crawl 6 miles on a gravel road to get to rehersals, held in the middle of a highway. Didn't have a bass, I played a wash tub strung with a piece of electrical wire.

Did you have to forego clothing to afford the bass, too? At least you could wash your clothes in your bass.

True, true. Ah, those were the days

You had a washtub and an electric wire? I had a plastic pail and a piece of rope.

Luxury! We lived in hole in t'road and had to work 25 hours a day .....

When I was a kid, we were so poor the rainbow was in black and white!

 

[GassieBall]

What did, um, I think it was Richard Pryor say? "When I was a kid, we were so poor we couldn't buy toys so my momma had to cut holes in my pant pockets so I had something to play with."

Beautiful Bongo!! I'd freak out if a family member of mine gave me something like that. Of course, I'm so poor, I got married just for the rice....
