Kid Guitars

When I was about 11, I let my parents know that I wanted to learn how to play the electric guitar, and of course they gave me that parental glance.  I knew that electric kid guitars were expensive, not to mention the lessons to learn how to may, and since I hadn’t played there was no guarantee I’d continue.  My parents made a deal with me, they said they’d pay for half of the electric guitar if I paid for the other.

I worked for a whole summer as a paperboy, and earned my half of the electric guitar.  My parents were true to their word, and paid for the other half.  I think because I worked for it, the guitar was a lot more important to me.  I played it all through junior high and high school and all throughout college.
