How do you introduce a new love to someone? It’s easy to get carried away, painting everything in glowing colors when it’s all new and exciting. So I’ll try to keep it cool and start from the beginning — how we first met. Our first encounter was a few years ago on a family road trip. We rented a small house in Sylvan Park, wandered down Broadway, and peeked into a few music studios and guitar shops. A tiny spark of curiosity was born that trip — and last summer we came back,
