Default The biker dude (6)

This biker dude comes in for an eye exam and I did not think of him playing guitars, but as we chatted I asked if he had a guitar, and he said, “oh yeah”
So I gave him a guitar pick and told him everyone I give a pick has to tell me his guitar story.
He said his grandfather had given him a Washburn when he was young and they used to play in church together. “But when I lost my finger I sort of gave up,” and he held up his left hand which was missing over half of the index finger. But you know I have been playing some again with my other three fingers. “
I thought for a minute and told him I did not know how but I had seen guys play with a bottle neck thing and maybe he could try that. He brightened up a bit and said he remembered his grandpa used to play that way some and maybe he would get up with him to learn how.
Thinking of him getting together with his grandpa to play again made my day!
