gee, just changed my plans for running errands since it's SNOWING out
this is the earliest!
Wow Cathy! Me too, I fell in love with the guitar at the same age! My big brother and his bandmates thought it was the cutest thing to see me holding that electric guitar (and get to see me without my thumb in my mouth!). But nobody took me seriously...that I really had wanted to play! And never did
, very little if any encouragement. Though my bro did take me into Worcester to help me buy my 1st guitar when I was 16. 12 years I waited!
Besides having an interest/desire and the apptitude/interest...the one thing I've found that musicians have in common for the most part are the resources and encouragement, of which I've had very little if any of.
I'll leave it at that except to say that my piano lessons were a total nightmare. My teacher's son had ADHD and she used to do things like tie him to a chair while we had our lessons. I'd sit on the bench, shaking and on the brink of tears the entire time -rushing through the lessons so that I could play with him while my sister had hers.
