My son has had several guitars, but none of them have ever been real, with the exception of his latest one, the First Act
Flamed Guitar. This one however is real hard to keep in tune due to the cheap way it is built. Of course First Act is a great company and do build some good quality guitars, but this one is the entry level. My son loves music, and he shows a real aptitude toward rhythm and a desire to play. He has had his eye on this electric guitar for some time now.
I have not had an income for several years, am in a fight with Social Security that I hope is drawing near an end with the result being several years of retro disability payments. At that time I will be in a position to get this thing.
The rub is that I am in the process of teaching his older sister some chords and soon we will be able to play a few songs together. My son wants to be in on that as well. And I want him to. So what I am asking, is you guys help me get this stuff for him now, and when I am able, I will make somebody else's child's dream a reality.
Can we do it?....Yes we Can!!!
The guitar is about $70, and the book is about $13, so I am asking for $85 which will not quite cover it with taxes, but I am sure I can handle the difference.
What is in it for you? Glad you asked. When both of my kids learn to play the chords we need, we are going to make some Videos to put on YouTube, and I will post them here for you guys to enjoy. That is like getting tickets to our debut concert. Not a bad deal for a few stars, eh?
What are we going to play? Well, we are going to start with an old favorite, The Star Spangled Banner in 2 part Harmony. Then we will likely do some John Denver (Country Roads, Annie's Song, Dreams etc...) then maybe a few Old Time Gospel tunes (Amazing Grace, Old Rugged Cross, Were You There etc...) and then we will try an original tune. I am working on the lyrics for our first original song, and maybe I can finish the Score for it about the time I get them taught to play. It will be geared as a children's song with a target group of like 4 years to 14 years. I have all these possible song lyrics up in my brain, no telling what might fall out next. Who knows, we may even cut a CD and you guys get the first shot at e (more)

We all need a bit more music in our lives! Love your choice of songs, if there's one thing I want to be in life it is to be as good a man, and eventually father as mine is.

It is not if I win or not that matters to me, it is that someone who needs what they wish for does that counts most to me.
