The Acoustic Guitar Lesson That Changed My Life
Once when I was a kid, I had this strange desire for a Christmas present. While all the other kids wanted things like bikes and guns, all I wanted was an acoustic guitar lesson. I had seen this guy play downtown, and I really wanted to learn how to play. So my parents saved up their money for several months before they had enough to buy our Christmas presents. This was back during the great depression, when things like that were considered frivolous. I was lucky I ever got that acoustic guitar course, and I never let my parents forget it. I played that guitar every night for the next thirty seven years, until the great war. Now that is a powerful story.
