Day 190

Thank goodness the heat wave is over in NYC. Today's bow was handcrafted by yours truly. =)

Day 151

Oh, purple paisley. Where have you been? Do you remember when we first met? We performed together over three years ago with the Rondalla Cristiana Soldados de la Fe. This, of course was back when you just another necktie, a part of a sort of costume I wore when I played the guitar alongside the others in uniform. We've come a long, long way, and still you remind me of all things regal, regardless of your actual place in my life. It is a dear, bittersweet joy to reintroduce you to the world as a bow tie. I know you miss being near the instrument I used to strum, but perhaps there will be a chance for you two to meet again. For now, I am compelled to thank you, Xoelle, for making this moment possible.

Day 15

It's Sunday! That means it's time for another performance from the Rondalla Cristiana Soldados de la Fe. When translated, that essentially means we're a group of Christian guitaristas and soldiers of the faith." We got to play about three songs today and what made this particular performance special was that I got to share part of my bow tie collection with the fellas. We each wore a shade of purple with our black suits while we played. To check out our music please visit our youtube channel here.

Today's bow tie was donated by the generous folks over at bowties.com. It features this vibrant yellow crest on a solid purple tie. Very regal, no?
