First was a piano. With it came the teacher from hell, no batteries necessary. Lasted a few months but decided I wanted to play guitar. I had eyes on a bass (which was both cheap and imported, meaning in the 60s it was probably $30 or something) just because I *had* to get something. My Dad, who cared nothing about music, asked, "Well, can you play a bass by yourself?" I admitted, "Nope." He took me and we rented a guitar from Brooks Mays. I've been playing for the past 40 years. It would taken nearly 35 to return to the piano (perhaps I wanted to make sure the teacher was dead). Brian
