I have a grandson who sits at my feet and watches me play. His mother says when I'm not around he holds a small guitar in his lap for hours, listening to the sound of the strings. His mother says "He has the fever". He's only 3 years old.

I purchased my first guitar at 8 years old, Sears, Harmony. Before that I made instruments out of wood cigar boxes. I guess I "had the fever".
