It was 1956. Jim was eight years old. Elvis Presley had recently been featured on Ed Sullivan's and Steve Allen’s television shows. The impression cast was indelible. An unrelenting campaign against his parents finally resulted in a Christmas present. A rough but playable ¾ size guitar. Decorated with a picture of Roy Rogers atop trigger.
