First song

Well corleone from New Zealand, I did start except for RISING SUN, and I think most of us started with this song.
BUT: BUT BUT, in Belgium, Brussels (the CAPITOL of EUROPE!!!), there was a guy on television, every wednesday, when we were free from school, he was on television, when it all started, and he must be between 85-90 years old and was on the screen for ages. It was a program for older kids, starting 10 years, but sometimes we looked at 17 (more to laugh, or pure nostalgia). The program was 3 hours and filled with cartoons, of course the MUST SEEN episode, performed by the best of the best actors we had here, and 40 minutes long. Those actors, as youngster, you had a crush on all of them and sometimes 1 time a year you could meet them. In 1971, I was 15 years old, 16 in December, is one of those memories. Everybody owning a television, must go to see them live. Incredible but true, 9 years later, a VERY LONG TIME, when 15 years old, I was the personal MEDICAL DOCTOR for the same actors and more really becoming very, very close friends. It is so crazy, you adore them, but they tell you that they adore you!! I am definitely not a pretender, I am just me, but it would be a big lie to denie that feeling.
So the TV man was called "UNCLE BOB", he was the smartest man alive for all the kids, knowing everything, like everything about learning to make knots when you take 2 ropes, and here we go: HE played guitar, and he edited also books (only in Flandres, the dutchpart of Belgium), sold book after book, and at the end of the show, he played guitar, surrounded by children, who were allowed to play, but more then a little whistle? I can't remember. He started to play, camera pointed at his fingers, and face, and every kid miles and miles away, could HEAR what he played, a real super song, try to do the same as he did?? it will be impossible, and an easy tune. So he played 2-3 songs, explained those songs, who were of course in his book. So, in fact all the rising sun, and Denver songs, he is known as the man who learned the children play guitar.
At first, I had already post my answer, but ask "every single guitar player, here where did you learn to play, you will always hear the same name: BOB", using very simple 2-3 chord diagrams, and a song, you could sing after you heard it ONCE.
To improve the skills, you started to practise more and more, but when you are 15 years old, and it is starting to get a burdon: I use pink floyd: "he teacher, leave us kids alone"
