Good for Jon, I wish I had taken lessons when I could have at that age...learning as late in life as I tried is nearly impossible. Best I can do is play by ear, reasonably well I'm told, but don't ask me what key I'm in or what that last chord I played was! Encourage the young'un all you can. My grandson just turned 13 and I keep harping on his mother (my daughter) to get that boy some lessons. I gave him an old beater guitar and he tries to play on it. Very glad to hear that the plants are happy with their new home as well!! Take yer time on that next installment, don't hurry. Like I said somewhere above this is one of those stories that you just know will have a happy ending but you hate to see it over!!
