"While my guitar gently weeps..."

Today, the Catholic Church celebrates the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe, patroness of the Americas. The story of her appearance is a remarkable one (and is linked by clicking on her aforementioned name). She is also the patroness of that Latino band from East Los Angeles, Los Lobos, inasmuch as the image of Our Lady that appeared to Juan Diego, also appears on the bass drum head. So, I decided to pay a similar tribute, using my new "travelin'" electric guitar. I wear a button with the image of Guadalupe on the strap, for all to see.

With that in mind, this is also the first guitar I've ever given a name -- "Lady Madonna," or "Donna" for short.
