I'm a firm believer that lighting affects mood, and twinkly lights on strings bring something magical to occasions ranging from concerts to weddings, though I'm fond of using them as year-round home decor.

Friends are like fiddle strings; they must not be screwed too tight. ↗

I always use the same guitar; I got this guitar years and years ago for nine pounds. It's still got the same strings on it. ↗
