The Orange Blossom Special

My father bought this guitar when he was around 14 for less than $5. Although it isn't one of the classics, it hold so much sentimental value to me. He never took lessons but taught himself how to play, and one of his favorite songs was the Johnny Cash classic "Orange Blossom Special". I still smile every time I hear this song and think of my dad playing it on his guitar when I was little.

 

Due to tremors in his hands, he can't play anymore, but we had a lot of fun over the weekend polishing it and taking a few photos with it. This was one of my faves!
