There's always been something about the sound of a guitar. Something about it just melts away anxiety for me. My oldest son started teaching himself guitar a couple years ago. He's done impressively well. A few months back he began begging for an electric guitar. Specifically a "red" one. So I started saving up to get him one for his birthday. I knew that with the fall photography rush I'd be able to get him one for Christmas/his birthday. A couple weeks before Christmas I was in the process of ordering him a Squire by Fender. I wanted to get him a Les Paul. Dad said it was the best, and dad would know. My dad was a professional drummer for most his life until arthritis got the best of his hands. But the Les Paul was a bit out of our budget. As I was checking out with the Squire the phone started ringing. I quickly hit the "checkout" button and answered the phone. It was my step mama. "I wanted to let you know we just ordered Michael a guitar. It's a Les Paul."!!! At Christmas time my son had a pretty good idea this was going to be his present, but he was still over the moon thrilled. The really crazy thing is it's red. I never told Dad and Ma he wanted a red one. Isn't that ironic! Within less then two weeks he had taught himself another new song. He has taught himself six songs so far. He's getting quite good! And heavens, can the boy sing. He can belt it out. His new challenge is going to be singing and playing at the same time. As gifted as he is with music I don't imagine it will be too difficult for him. He practices for about an hour nearly every single day. Today we went out and got some shots of him with his Les Paul.
