[Acousticado]

I had no family or friend influence when I had the urge to play guitar back in the ‘70s. No one played any musical instrument whatsoever. I couldn’t help myself, so bought an electric and acoustic and learned on my own. My two sons have heard me play since they were born and at some point we bought them each an acoustic and later an electric. Our youngest has dabbled with playing, but it’s never really stuck. Our oldest still plays, but like me, he’s a perpetual couch noodler. Despite my unforced attempts over the years for us to play together, it really hasn’t materialized...with us, it’s more of a private at-home hobby, so we never really play together. I wish that wasn’t the case, but it is what it is. I’m happy that at least my elder son has music and playing as one of his two main hobbies for his own pleasure.
