Subject: Is the guitar a traditional instrument?
I grew up in a culture where singing was normal. We'd sing at parties, we'd sing at school, we'd sing on bus trips and in pubs. But no one 'ever' had a guitar, not in twenty years. There might be someone who would play the piano in the pub but more often than not all singing was unaccompanied.

Now it seems that if you go to a song circle you often don't get a turn to sing unless you have a guitar.

Your thoughts!

Bert.
