"josie and the pussycats!"

Every once in awhile an instrument comes along so full of charm, good tone and feel it requires a mention of its own. We all fell for this Hagstrom at first glance (it had us from “Louie, Louie”) but when we saw the original case, we flipped. While we were bickering it was purchased, right out from under our noses. She deserved it, she’s the right person to have it, and the instrument is right for her. At least, that’s what we’ll tell ourselves tonight as we drink ourselves to sleep in grief.
