Subject: RE: HELP: My 7-year old wants to play guitar
O.K. Proud Papa weighing in here.

( Way I heard it was "I wanna play like Daddy" ) :D

Anyway, I think she's set on the Taylor and steel strings. She tried Mom's classical and she likes the sound of steel better. That's my girl !!!

And since she want's to play like Dad ... er Mom and since Dad ... er Mom ... OK both, play Taylors, well we can't break up a set can we?

Seriously, even people who are generally disposed to diss Taylors usually end the dissin' with "... but I have to admit the Baby Taylors are a great value."

O.K. now here's the cool part. She sat in Mom's office for almost an hour today just strumming away on the mandolin. And we had our first lesson tonight - which comes at an opportune time because she's already working on her first original song.

And she's learned all about the parts of the guitar, and the string names and is learning to pick and, and, and ...

OK I'll put the baby pictures (excuse me, big girl pictures) back in the wallet and shut up now. :D :D
