In three weeks I could play "Wildwood Flower" just like Mother Maybelle Carter….well, at least that is what I believed so I'm sticking with it. Me and the old guitar learned to make music together, me singing and learning where to put my fingers and strumming in actual rhythm just like the big guys, my old guitar patiently putting up with my fumbling and wrong notes cause it knew I had to get better or die trying. Luckily, I got better.
