Oh lord, I was proud of that guitar. But in all truth, compared to my guitar now, it was like fretting a fence.
I'd have played music of course, there's no doubt about that because I think you're born with music or whatever talent that comes out front in your blood, as the old-timers used to say, and you just couldn't help but pick the first time a guitar came along, you'd learn it. But it would've been a hobby.
So I jumped in there with both hands, I reckon, thinking, well, if I fail, it won't mean I didn't try.
