I think I won't use my real name on this (which is what I use for most postings).

At school (what we English call a public school) you got out of lessons if you had instrument tuition. I was p****d off not being top of things since I had got a scholarship and decided to work the system. Parents kindly bought me a guitar. I never learned to play it well, and after a couple of electric bands at university things sort of hung around.

Some years after settling down (if not legally marrying) my wife told me she was so bored she was leaving if we didn't stop just watching TV and arguing in the evenings. She had been a fairly good guitarist/singer in the folk boom, with her first husband and had known lots of musicians. So she bought me a washburn D10 for my birthday. It wouldn't tune so I took it back and changed it for a different one which almost would. I don't like D10s. So with a friend of her oldest son's we formed a folk band. We got away with it 'cos he could sing. The he came out and moved away with his boyfriend. Now we argue so much when we practise I wish we'd never started.

Would someone like to turn this into a country and western song?
