Eric Higgins. Eric asked for a guitar for Christmas one year. He received one, and then began taking lessons from Joe Poisel at Reddick’s Music on Jefferson St., in Burlington. The first guitar he received was regular sized, but was inexpensive. After Eric had been taking lessons for a couple of years, he wanted a new, better guitar. He saw this Alvarez guitar and Dale and Carol said if he saved up half, they would buy the other half. Eric had an old coffee can in which he saved the money; birthday money, money from pop bottles, etc. He saved for about a year. This picture was taken shortly after purchasing the new guitar. Interesting fact, Eric’s son Riley Higgins got a guitar from his parents for Christmas one year. After playing for a few years, Riley wanted a better guitar. Riley’s parents said they would pay half if he saved up the money. Riley saved up his half by scooping dog poop for the neighbor’s dog, Jackson. He was able to come up with his half, Eric and Sarah paid for the other half, and Riley got his new guitar, an Epiphone, Les Paul, which he named Jackson, after the pooping dog.
