Did you know...

that I have a guitar?

I do. I received this guitar for my 19th birthday. I was really inspired to learn to play (partly by this song, Kiss Me) and so my dad gave me the guitar that he learned to play on as my gift. He began learning to play while I was still in utero, so its kinda sentimental to me.

Really great story- I only wish the ending matched. I can strum a few chords and possibly fumble through Red River Valley if I practiced really hard, but I just didn't put the amount of time into it as I needed to become proficient. I guess that one semester of guitar at Ricks College just didn't cut it!

Maybe someday I'll get back on the horse, but for now the guitar just lovingly gets strummed by sweet little toddler hands.



Here it is, in all its glory.

How about I start on my goal of learning to play the piano and while you learn how to play this! Only one problem, no piano to dust off...HA!

aww as a child i always wanted to learn guitar. Now i'm more interested in violin and tuning up my piano skills. You should go for it tho. It is never too late to start.

I wish I could play the guitar, but I wish more that my husband could. There is something about a good looking guy and a guitar...

Guitar is so cool! I have thought many times that knowing how to play the guitar could come in so handy. Get on that Heather :)

Heather said...

BOGO... I'm sure I could swing a family discount on lessons.

That's an interesting tidbit about you Heather. For some reason it fits you. Mel plays. We love it. He is always teaching himself some new song.
