Thread Name: Ever had a music lesson?
Subject: RE: Ever had a music lesson?
Not since skoowl! I never learnt anything then, there were no instruments. I vaguely remember being sat down in front of an old T.V. (not a transvestite), and being told that this was proper music and I must learn to appreciate it. I just wanted to listen to Bob Dylan P.P & M, Donovan etc. Left school and started fiddling around with a guitar.
35 years later I get persuaded to take up the melodeon. I finally took some beginners lesson with George Garside (he of the Whitby Workshops). I still can't read a note of music (or guitar tab). I just pick it up out of the air. Cheers Les
