I play tenor (sometimes) and I find this little guitar fascinating. This is the original tenor "Mousegetar" from the 1950s that is on display in the Disney Museum.

Read about it and listen to Jimmy Dodd play this special guitar with Doreen singing (on youtube) at

I am in two art shows this week in NYC. The first is the "Buy What You Love" Charity Art Show for cancer organized by the Rema Hort Mann Foundation. This show will be held at the Marianne Boesky Gallery, 509 West 24th St. on Thursday night March 24th, 2011 from 6:30pm-9:30pm. I donated one of my "Little Pierrots" ("Ophelia" above) for this cause.
