   More nostalgia, what fun!
Here's something I bet most of you didn't know: I used to take guitar lessons. I love the guitar, it's my favorite instrument, but I'm not that good at playing it. Mostly I went to the lessons to hear my teacher play. I love the little sounds a classical guitar makes when your fingers slide to change chords, and the little sticky sounds of the strings... It's sort of weird, I guess. But my parents made me stop taking the lessons because I wasn't really learning much. I picked up my guitar somtime this summer to try and play it again, but I found one of the strings broken! So now I can't play it at all unless we get it fixed. *sigh* I think I might be able to teach myself with what I already know. I'm terrible at finger-picking, but with practice I could learn...

Right now the only instrument I can play is recorder, and I'm pretty good at it. I hated it when the people in my recorder class always blew too hard, or didn't tongue it. I just kept thinking, 'It's so easy, why can't you just tap your tongue a little to the roof of your mouth and make it sound worlds better?' It helped that my dad taught me some recorder before the class. Our teacher was teaching a different way of tongue-ing, and I think that messed people up. I really wish I could play the guitar, though...
