I took my first guitar lesson. Hard to believe but I've spent the better part of my life as a musician.I started just three months shy of my 10th Birthday :D
On a sad note.I lost a close friend nine years ago today to suicide. So today go out of your way to tell someone how thankful you are to have the priviledge to know them.
I had my first date with MRS. BIPS fourteen years ago today....ah the memories. I remember our first date, where we went, what she wore, and what we had for dinner.
Our rat terrier dog Chrissie is four years old today!

and what would you be doin know if you never picked up the guitar scruffy . or bips if you never asked her out. God surely shapes our lives in mysterious ways. congrats to both of you. and sorry about your friend scruffy i know what its like to loose someone special in that way
Boy, I know thing would be different, Mr Buckaroo...
Kids, who knows?
House, who knows?
Another wife, who knows?
BIPS, Who knows?
In the first three cases, ignorance of what life would be like without the first three is truly bliss! :)
I got to have the fourth one though....and I hope so for most of the kids...

I bought a nice Fender Acoustic and took lessons but I just wasnt cut out for it, now I'm selling my guitar and putting the proceeds towards Clowning! What better thing to do with it? LOL
Hurray for you!

Sure you can learn to do it. It's easier than juggling and less painful than trying to ride a unicycle.
Do not sell your guitar even if you can not play it
It takes practice just like clowning and you will get better you can also use it with your clowning just ask Dave Bartlett about music in clowning
Iam not the best player in the world but I find it can be relaxing
Most kid songs are just basic cords and are easy to learn give it a try you wont reget it

I agree, I used to play the drums and I regret letting them go.
