Daddy's Little Plucker

I've mentioned here before that I was once the proud member of an old time jug band called The Motherpluckers. We had a fiddle and banjo, a mandolin and stand up bass. We had a drummer sometimes, and then there was me, limping along on rhythm guitar. I could never quite keep the chords straight, but the other fellows tolerated me on account of how nice I look in a sundress.

Some thoughtful friends of ours, J.T. and Stacey, saw fit to promote Alden's allegiance to her dad's band of yore, and had a Motherpluckers onesie made up for her.

We're not sure if she's pleased or embarrassed to be associated with the Plucker name, or with me at all, for that matter.

And I'm not sure what instrument she'd play, if it comes to that.

Given the size of her cheeks, it might have to be trumpet.
