GEORGE: Oh, uh, wow! You...got me a LUTE.
AGNES: Now, that's REAL spruce!
Is that RIGHT? Is that what you WANTED?
GEORGE: Yeah! I mean, GEEZ--I can't believe you actually FOUND one!
AGNES: Oh, it wasn't EASY! FIRST I tried the music shop on Ninth. But all THEY had was a bunch of JUNK!
Then Aunt IRENE said I should try ANTIQUE shops. Do you know I went to EVERY antique shop in town? But nobody even knew what I was TALKING about!
AGNES: Finally, I found this nice man at a little recording studio over in Brantley. HE said he wouldn't mind asking around on the Internet for me.
Wouldn't you know it, a friend of his in TEXAS had this one for sale, and I was able to get it OVERNIGHTED. I hope it's a GOOD one!
GEORGE (small voice): I kind of put this on my list as a joke.
HIRAM: LET HER KEEP HER VICTORY

There was a period a few months ago when George was watching a lot of lute videos on YouTube.
The computers tell me it was 20 years ago, June 9, 2006, that I arrived in New York for my first-ever comic convention as an exhibitor, MoCCA.
It was an important trip for me, a milestone in what would go on to become my career.
I wrote a little reminiscence on Patreon (free/unlocked) — including a first-since-then reprint of the photocomics I made at the time, documenting the trip!
