And they wonder why people go nuts and start shooting the place up.
I feel bad for you. I grew up with loving parents who backed me in what ever I did.
My mom played the accordion who passed it on to me. Later in m 20’s I picked up a guitar and started teaching myself. I finally got the job that I wanted all my life and the guitar went to last place on my list of priorities.
I had the fortunate pleasure of meeting Blaine Larsen and Mat McIntyre at my work place. It was great, a rainy July day. They were waiting to go for an interview at my local country radio station. They never got the call and with that they spent the afternoon in my cigar shop playing for me and whatever customer walked in. That gave me a renewed interest and I’m back to playing for the last year and a half.
To you youngsters out there who are reading this. DON’T QUIT. YOU’LL BE SORRY.
If I had 35 years of playing under my belt I can only imagine how good I’d be. Instead I’m back to beginner status. My friend Mike who plays professionally says I’m pretty good for only a year and a half of playing .
I’M 58 now and wish I never quit.
