When I was old enought to stand I used to pretend to play the banjo and other such instruments by picking up the frying pan.My first guitar was a christmas present I was still pre-school age and the guitar was plastic and cheap. My sister sat on it on Boxing day so it was back to the frying pan. I was later given this huge acoustic which was far to big for one so small.
Un-dawnted I carried on and took lessons from age 9.
The rest is history. I have no idea why I wanted to play but i am sure glad I did. The guitar is my best friend and my tranquilliser.
