Yep. That’s me at age 13 getting my very first electric guitar. A Peavey Predator. I was supported from an early age to pursue music, which is not always the case for some people. I also grew up in a family of modest means, so it was a group effort that made this a reality for me. I once heard a teacher of mine say, “Did you ever consider the possibility that you didn’t choose the guitar but in fact it chose you?” Honestly, it feels that way sometimes. Some things never change. To this day I love playing guitar. I love how it has been a bridge between me and other people even if we don’t speak the same language. But it’s a universal language that transcends beyond the written or verbal. I honestly would not change a thing either. Thankfully I met someone who loves music and being married to a musician too 🎰

I’m sorry to say that at first glance the beanie looked like grandma hair and I thought this was a little old grannie
