Hi Gang

When I was 4 years old, I saw a cowby holding a guitar on some show 
which was a western, he was the host. 

Next it was the Ventures and Ricky Nelson's guitarist

Then Chet Atkins

Then a Segovia recocording

Then it was Bream with Lute Music of the Royal Courts whicih just made me 
want a lute
