A 50-word story
“That dent there. Got it at Woodstock. I turned around and hit a microphone stand.”
“That chip on the shoulder. Live Aid. Jimmy Page was coming off stage. His double-neck banged it.”
“The big scratch was Lollapalooza.”
“Wow. That guitar has been around.”
“Yes, sir. It’s been my loyal companion.”
Based on the

Your dinged up guitar is full of memories, Mark. Your dinged up heart is too. My heart is full of the dents and scratches and chips of simply living a very full life. I love your little story, both as metaphor and as reality. Thank you.
I bet it has. I'm glad that technology has allowed you to advance your musical interests.
