Thank you, Pam.
Yes, after reading that book you started,
Trust Your Heart, by Judy Collins, helped me make some progress. I just couldn't do 2 hours of practice a day on the guitar a day like she did on the piano when she was a kid. 15 minutes is usually all I can handle. The most I ever did was around an hour. I think I've got the attention span of a two year old.
It would really be alright to be able to play guitar. Then I could write some loving songs for my ex husband.
