Gumbo, this was the first book I used at age 9 in 1975! That was the start of my playing and I'm still going at it!

I got my first guitar, a cheap acoustic for Christmas from one of my aunts when I was 12 years old in 1964. The guy across the street from me was about 17 at the time and had been playing for years and was giving lessons as did his mother, only on piano and organ.

I stuck with it for about a year and got into boxing at a local gym and didn't have time for both of them, school and weekend work.

I don't have my original guitar, but do have a Yamaha Acoustic I bought around 75 and a knockoff Fender electric I came across and the price was right about 10 years ago. Haven't played them in a while though and they are in their cases collecting dust right now.

I really should find someone to give them to who is interested in learning, since at my age-----67----I'm not going to get back into it.
