61 Around the Sun

By Kira Grunenberg, March 1, 2011

And so starts another month in the year 2011.

Happy March. It’s the beginning of winter’s end, (YAY!) windy days and making lots of Irish soda bread. 😀
The beginning of this month also signifies the beginning of the Fender Telecaster’s 61st year. Yesterday NPR did a segment on the history of the iconic guitar and I thought, for those of you that missed the date on the calendar, this is a fun, laid back way to kick off another 31 days. Link to NPR’s stream is below and I’ve found a few solid videos of featuring the guitar for your leisurely listening.

“NPR: The Telecaster: Still Wailin’ at 60.”

Happy birthday to the Telecaster! Enjoy!
