Jill, you say, musical ability tends to run in families, the best impression I get, you are talking genetics?

 

Iv'e read many a autobiography, and exposure and opportunity appear to dismiss that theory..

 

Gaining an influence or teacher at an early age, when practice would be less of a chore appears crucial!

 

Only instrument at my school was a recorder! 

Did have some piano lessons, payed for by Gran when about 7. Actually proved useful!

Yes.  I'm aware of all three, but only Robert Johnson has made much impact on me.  And I did say 'some'. Try to keep up.

I can't resist putting up this video of Elizabeth Cotton

Interesting that she played left handed with the guitar strung for a right handed player. I wonder how many lefties played like that?

Quite a few of the 'older' blues players Oz. The two that immediately come to mind are Albert King and Otis Rush.

On a modern theme, the Amazing Eric Gales, still have tickets to see him, now over a year old!!

I listen to "Always" and I'm thinking of fabulous Mrs WW, from happy courting days to the sweetest honeymoon, through all the years, all the sunsets, all the sunrises, all the hard times, near disasters, great times, son off to uni, daughter's marriage to a good man, all the travels in cars, boats, planes, all the beaches and all the playing in the sea with the children, all the playing by the sea with grandchildren, tears and laughter. Life's tapestry.

 

Sitting in the garden sharing a drink with my wife in the slow dusk of a spring evening, the quietness conveying a myriad unspoken feelings between us.

When I was an uninspired 24yo I could never have dreamt anything like this, she gave me the dream and made it real. Last month we celebrated our wedding anniversary. It's a fairly big number.

Hi Oztalgian, not the same but I played in a five piece band and the lead and rhythm guitarists were left-handed. The rhythm player learn to play right-handed.
