Because I flew to the reunion, I had to leave my guitar at home; traveling with musical instruments nowadays can be an expensive gamble in which the pot you lose is your vintage 1968 Gibson E-335.
Terry Chesson solved the problem. He plays in a band with local musician Randy Matthews, who was willing to lend me a guitar for the week. (I spoke with him a few weeks ago; he's been playing with MUs in Virginia Beach since the 1960s: all the fun of Navy music without the sea duty.)
Terry and I just drove to Randy's home to pick up the guitar. I just tried it out, and it plays quite well; in fact, it plays better than I do.
