Hi Lauren. I think you are fantastic. I wanted to tell you, last year 2020 I bought two acoustic guitars for myself and my twin boys. You are the first person I played for my boys. I did this with the purpose of showing them that women can be kick a** guitar players. So I thank you for you being you. I'm a proud daddy. Keep up your great work, we appreciate you. We will continue to watch your videos. Take Care and Be Well.
