I always wanted to sit on the deck or beach and play the guitar and sing. Alas.....I have long fingernails and an obvious lack of musical talent. So, I bought the guitar and lessons for my ex-hub. Didn't happen.....so I passed the guitar along to my son and bought more lessons. Nope....still didn't happen. The dog doesn't seem interested either, although she does smile and wag her tail when I speak about it....lol.
Reading your profile gave me a warm, fuzzy feeling. You remind me of a friend of mine who resides in NY, is an IT Administrator with the school system, and....plays the guitar and performs, on occasion, with a small band.
Oooohhhh, twilight zone time...do, do, do, do...LOL
