yes i know its bad and because of my age, i may never learn. LOL. my dad played guitar. a week before he died he gave me his guitar and said he wanted me to learn play. after he died, an adult member of my family decided that my dad had no right to give a guitar to a 12 yr old girl. so it was taken from me, and i never saw it again. About 2 weeks ago i related this story to an on-line friend of mine. 2 days ago i recieved a beautiful guitar in the mail. its a belated b-day gift from her, and it looks a lot like the one my father had given me. so now i am fullfilling his request that i learn to play. i would love to learn his favorite song. I used to sit on the floor and watch him play Wildwood Flower. the day i can play that, will be a happy one for me.
