I was just playing guitar for about an hour after not playing for 8 months. I’ve been visiting my parents’ house, and without my own instruments. I finally went upstairs to find the guitar we gave my dad for father’s day years ago that he never plays - an Epiphone EJ160E - driven to learn a song or two that have been on my mind lately. I so rarely play guitar in this house that if I do, it’s not hard to think about having first picked up the instrument in this very spot more than 25 years ago. Every time I play seriously for a bit, I can’t help thinking about how my guitar teacher, Larry, would always get annoyed with me. I had a very high level of physical skill at the age of 14, but I often would not practice each week until the day of my lesson. It may come as no surprise that I never excelled as a musician or performer.
