Wit...Music is the medication that soothes the soul. Without music I would either be totally insane or simply dead now. I picked up the guitar after several years of keyboard to emulate my hero's. I would get lost in the sound of the strings but not yet understand what they really meant to me deep down. <BR/><BR/>Eventually the guitar became my therapist, allowing me brief exits from the world around me. It was so easy to turn and amplifier up and forget about what just played an emotional roller coaster with my mind. <BR/><BR/>The 80's while having hot chicks, were genderless. Guy's with big hair and makeup, spandex and leather. They looked as good or better than the girls and yet, I was at home in those years. Even at being that in tune with the times I would still feel like I had been left out of the game being a boy and music was the only thing that was left. I well understand the effect these things have on our inner being. <BR/><BR/>I loved the story about Jimmy Sam, that one put a smile on my face. Thank you for starting my day off with positive thoughts! <BR/><BR/>Karyn~K~https://www.blogger.com/profile/12608151809191703870noreply@blogger.com
