Music and Family

 

I belong to a large family which took an enormous effort from both my parents and all the siblings. We never asked for any material things from

my folks and I believe they figured out how to distract us enough with other things such as "MUSIC".  Many nights went by when after finishing

dinner my dad would get out his guitar and play while my mother and sisters washed dishes and sang in three part harmony. Eventually

the curiosity brought me to wanting to learn the guitar. I will always thank my Farther and Mother for this  lesson in my life.  i still play once

in a while to keep the family spirit of music alive for ever and ever.

Johnny this was ridiculous!!! What a great way to do a story. I remember so well trying to get rid of that stupid muted D string when I played the C chord. This is awesome. I'm afraid of your future stories but can't wait.

Great story. My dad had to listen to my foolish fingers figure it out.

Loved your audio. Reminds me of trying to learn to play the guitar - because I idolized my older brother, who played one with steel strings - only to have my fingers turn into bloody messes. Your're sure right: it's not as easy as it looks!!
