Choosing Your Destiny
Why did I pick up the guitar?
Why dose anyone pick up an instrument or begin signing?
Some people say that it's in our genes while others say it's coincidence.
I personally think it's a mixture of them both plus a special ingredient which changes according to the individual in speaking at that precise time.For me I do believe that it was my mother listening to her Elaine Paige,Celine Dion and Roy Orbinson cd's in her room after a night out.She was a single mother of five after finally deciding to leave my alcoholic father,who beat her after loosing his sanity to alcohol.So now she looses herself in her dream world with the aid of her music and it truly had an Enormous impact on me as a 17 year old boy.Also a young lad who lived on my steet was in a band who dedicated themselves to signing U2 songs.That made me really want to get up and let rip with my voice and I have never looked back since.So for me my first musical instrument was my voice.I then progressed onto the acoustic guitar and then the electric guitar.I have a longing to learn the piano but that will have to wait because my eldest wants to learn piano and she obviously comes before her daddy.
