    So, Mary, you just proved that it is about 80% player and 20% instrument. While not quite the same reception as The Beatles enjoyed when they landed in New York, you are going to be recognized in the States. You are the bomb! Great to see you signing with Rick and Rhett. Enjoy your holiday.

      I think it's closer to 99% / 1%. A guitar, no matter how beautiful and/or expensive, sitting on a stand isn't going to make a sound.
