I learned to play the guitar at a very young age and performed professionally for quite a few years. Here is a picture of me at 14 years old ------->I kept on playing for fun and occasionally at fund raisers for my daughter's school, but gradually I let it get away from me and a few years ago sold my guitar because it was just sitting the case forlorn and neglected.
You know how that song goes....you don't know what you've got 'till it's gone. ? I started to miss my guitar. Finally my long suffering husband got tired of my whining and said "buy a new guitar and shut up". Well, not exactly like that but that was the gist of it.
It turns out that he has always wanted to play the guitar and his father's guitar has been sitting up in the office collecting dust for years. I AM the Dust Bunny Queen after all...dust...get it?
Nevermind
Nevermind
It also turns out that in my youth I taught guitar to children. So.....we get the bright idea! I'll take my new guitar, get some new strings for my hubby's inherited guitar and I'll teach him how to play.
What could go wrong?
Jeez you want a list?

ReplyDeleteHope that's ok.
Despite being a musician/songwriter and (former) teacher, I was completely unable to teach my kids how to play the piano. We found a wonderful teacher and they excelled. I don't know if it was the parent/child role that got in the way or what.
