I spent the most of the evening looking at videos on Youtube. Mainly the guys I consider to be Guitar Gods. It was great, brought back memories of how much I used to listen to Yngwie Malmsteen, Joe Satriani, Nuno Bettencourt, Jimmy Page, and Steve Vai. Time has been a fickle mistress. Some of them, like Nuno and Steve are still VERY good-looking. The others.....not so much.

Used to spend a lot of my nights reading or drawing and listening to cassettes on headphones. I'd even fall asleep listening to them! Made for some weird dreams.


For a while I wanted to play guitar too. I even got a really cool-looking Fender for Christmas one year. But, as luck would have it, I wasn't the least bit talented. So I wound up giving it away to my then-husband. Now my son plays guitar and bass. He's actually got some promise.

Passing on the love of guitar to the next generation..... And his idols are a bit different than mine. He likes Jimi Hendrix and Slash.
