Oh, this looks like fun!
Here I am at age 3, playing with a squirrel that used to visit me every day at 12pm for free peanuts and petting. I think he liked the peanuts more, but he endured the molestation regardless. (Peanut whore!) He’d even come into the house and sit in my lap, without being prompted, as long as we left the back door open. Their claws are wicked-sharp.
This one is far more recent.'tis me, with my 38 string Celtic harp, a Triplett "Eclipse" model. The Tree of Life image on the column is a custom design inlaid with marquetry (the process of inlaying wood-into-wood, like a mosaic). The body is Bubinga (an African wood), while the soundboard and inlay are flaming maple. It has a high gloss shine that didn't really take to the photo. The human was manufactured in 1981.
