larryp58 Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 I sure wish I could have learned to play on a Dove or a Hummingbird! Outstanding! I wonder do they even realize what they've got! Good form, DanvillRob!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor Player Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 Any chance your adopting at the present time? I would fancy something a bit simpler... A black J45 will do nicely! :) What a great gift!!! You are one special Dad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe down the road, they'll get something different, but they need to learn some first! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigKahune Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 Great presents. Great family stuff. Now that's a Chistmas. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Pup Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 Great choice, those Epiphone Doves are very nice sounding and playing guitars. They're a hard guitar to beat for the price. That should hold them until they can afford their own Gibsons. I hear it said that matching Hummingbirds make a great anniversay present. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanvillRob Posted December 28, 2009 Author Share Posted December 28, 2009 Great presents. Great family stuff. Now that's a Chistmas. :- You know... after several "lost" years with my son, and losing our mother last year, it really was a great Christmas. Since the mom is gone, it's our new family tradition.... every one over our house for pickin' & grinnin'!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not thin-skinned, and enjoy a good line, even if it's at my expense! The "kids" are good kids..... As I said earlier, after several "lost" years, the son went back to college, graduated, got a GREAT job... met his beautiful wife, (you should have SEEN what he was dating before he got clean!), who is a school teacher. They got married last July.... now every holiday is 10 times more enjoyable.... It really "made my life" complete! Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
