Wonderboy

[DMorrison]

Cheers, everyone. My name is Dave. Thanks for the welcome.



I’ve decided to call the guitar Wonderboy, after the baseball bat in The Natural. The Natural is a novel by Bernard Malamud that tells the story of Roy Hobbs, a baseball phenomenon who appears first as a young man, and later as an older man trying to get back in the game. As a young farm boy Roy carves his own bat from the wood of a lightning-blasted tree and names it Wonderboy, and with it he can hit just about anything, as long as he stays true.

Of course, (spoiler alert!) he is shot by a crazed fan, takes a bribe, and loses the big game.
Maybe the Dave-o-caster?

That's not what happened to Redford!? Damned Hollywood fairytale endings.
