Kid Guitars

As a parent I can’t help but compare and contrast what is available today for kids.  Sometimes it really seems worlds away from the toys and gadgets of the 1970’s and the 1980’s.  For my parents, it’s almost incomprehensible.  Thanks to the digital age, everything has changed!    I am fascinated with all the X boxes, Ipad’s,  Ipod’s just like everyone else.  My concern however is that too many kids like my own spend too much time isolated from their peers and too much time indoors.  Even if they are online talking to their peers or texting their peers to me it doesn’t take the place of real human interaction!  Ok. I’ll get off my soapbox for now!

My dear son says that what he most wants more than anything else in the whole wide world for his eighth birthday is a kids electric guitar!  I must say that I really wasn’t expecting this!  As a child I would have never thought to ask for that!  Thanks to the internet, ( obviously not available when I was his age) I can do a quick search for childrens electric guitars and see what’s available.  One can find almost ANYTHING on the internet and most certainly a childrens guitar that is well suited for each and every child!  Despite my resistance/fascination, I can go with the flow!  Believe it or not I can’t wait to see what the future holds!
