What’s in a picture: Number 8

Highly strung?

This is one of my pride and joys.

Don’t get me wrong, I can’t play..I can strum a few chords and that’s about it, knock out the main riff to ‘Smoke on the Water’ or the fingery bit at the start of ‘Thunderstruck’ but can’t play ‘seriously’ to save my life.

It’s just another example of something I wanted to be good at but either dud t have the patience for or wasn’t very good at…probably a combination of both. I’ve always been pretty useless at anything creative and guitar requires coordination…of which I have none.

But I won’t part with her. Still at 54 I get these moments when I see myself strutting my stuff on stage and if you don’t have dreams then why bother living eh?.
