The story behind this chapter
In 1986, an eighteen-year-old walked into a music store in Lynn, Massachusetts and fell in love with a white guitar on the wall. Life forced him to sell it — and he never forgot it.
Nearly forty years later, the guitar came home. “Gita Blan” is the song of that return: a dream delayed, never abandoned.
