..sounds like you've picked a bit

Had a little Country dance band with a couple of buddies in our younger days. My wife played Piano accordion Basically how we met.
I loved guitars. Still have 3 Martins one Gibson B25 12 string . Think I have 11 or 12 guitars the rest are lower end. A Yamaha, 12 + My first guitar a 1955 harmony F hole, A Fiddle , Mandolin and Gibson 5 string banjo. Base Guitar, drums. and a 14 string Banduria. I'll leave them all to the down line as all our kids play guitar plus other instruments. Plus 4 of our older grand kids now taking it up.

It's a blast when they all get together once in a while. The place just rocks. I encouraged them to learn. It is impossible to put your heart into playing a musical instrument and worry at the same time. It is rest for the mind. Therapy so to speak.

Below is a friend guitar player I met at a gig back in 1957 . He pased away I think in 2002. These are the only public recordings known. I have super 8 mm film footage of him playing three guitars. one in each hand and a walking base with his feet at the same time. I also have footage of him playing his five guitars at once. They were in a crib that held them and he played the strings on the neck like a piano.

After about 1970 when he began touring his posters, advertisements and appearances. offered a $10,000 reward for any person who could match him on a guitar. Basically a savant. At home he would play most of his waking hours like an addiction.

He could play 2 and three tunes all at the same time on one guitar blending them together. If I get these films converted I intend to first send copies to his daughter and ask permission to or let her post them on you tube also.

If your a guitar player I'm sure you'll enjoy
