This week was so groovy. From the guitar shop to splatter paint every experience was immersive, inspiring, and incredibly fun.

A HUGE thank you to Mark Blasko of Cumberland Guitars. He was a kind and gracious host and made us feel so welcome. Mark demonstrated a variety of instruments, answered ALL of our questions, and certainly inspired some budding musicians. If you've never visited Cumberland Guitars, make plans to pop in soon!
