You know my son was given a science project at school this week, which
was to make a musical instrument. He of course wanted me to make a damm
guitar for him. I said forget it! what are all the other kids parents
doing? defiantly not making their kids guitars.
I told him to do what everyone else is doing .... get a long stick and a
can and put a string on it. I guess the Greeks beat him to it!
