Dans les magasins de jouets, jeux... (j'en sors, c'est bientôt St Nicolas, chez nous, le grand copain du Père Noël...), il y a des petites guitares qui sont de vrais petits instruments miniature de taille réduite (1) et pas grands, pas chères et très bien pour les gamins...


(1) ça c'est pour que Mimile puisse revenir avec l'histoire du tube creux à l'intérieur dedans...

Déjà, l'histoire :
Q. I was at your late night jam during the CMA Music Festival. You told us a story about your mandolin and something that Johnny Cash did to it. You said it cost a lot, and they messed it up or something. Will you please tell that story again? I tried to tell my hubby about it but couldn't recall all the details.

A. Well, I'd saved my money to buy that mandolin when I got a job with Lester Flatt, and it was $650. For years, I was real proud of the fact that it never had a scratch on it. It looked like a brand new instrument for probably 12 or 13 years. When I got a job with Johnny Cash, he got on a kick of wanting me to teach him how to play the mandolin. And he was a horrible mandolin player. He'd take my mandolin on the stage and just play along with June Carter when she was singin'. One night I looked over there and he had his pocketknife out and scratched a huge cross on it and put his initials, "JRC," on it and then flipped the mandolin over and autographed it and signed, "Johnny Cash." My heart fell. After the show, I said, "What did you do that for?" and he said, "I didn't want you to forget the Lord." And I told him I could have remembered the Lord without him wrecking my mandolin. But it was all in good fun. And that started a trend after that. People just felt compelled to sign the mandolin. It has Stephen King, President Clinton, Bob Dylan, Billy Bob Thornton, Chuck Berry, Quincy Jones, Natalie Cole, ex-girlfriends, my momma and a lot of people I don't know on there. I'm about to run out of places for people to sign.
