    What’s the first guitar you ever bought (and, do you still have it) :
    This isn't one I bought, but let's go back a ways for fun...my first guitar was a no name, student sized, acoustic guitar that my Dad found, refinished, and fixed up for me to plunk around on. I gave it to my eldest nephew years ago, when he expressed an interest in learning to play guitar.

    Share a fun fact about yourself : 
    I have a bit of a chocolate obsession/hobby that has resulted in me judging chocolate competitions, reviewing chocolate for makers and shops, and doing media coverage of chocolate events.

    Describe, in detail, your ideal morning beverage :
    Dark hot chocolate made with almond milk (not hot cocoa, that’s a totally different thing). After reading that "fun fact" you really didn't think I was going to put coffee, did you?
