My mother recently moved and consequently we have been sorting through boxes of family ephemera. One curious bit of detritus to surface was this congratulations card that was sent to my parents when I was born in 1961. Sadly, my mother doesn’t remember who Jim and Lisa were but it appears that they knew I was going to have a life devoted to fretted instruments. I’m not sure if the little plastic banjo is a banjo-uke or a tenor banjo but it sure is cool.
