I was giving up 4 hours each time I went for a lesson. Then gas prices kept going up, and I just had to quit.
On the other hand, the current church in Clarksville supports my musical talents, and I have had the opportunity to begin playing with a band, and even do a few shows. I have also discovered that as we add new songs, I am finding myself able to figure out how to play things that I have never studied, or practiced. I will always be grateful to Darla for what she taught me, and maybe one day I'll have a chance to study with her again.
Now that is real dedication, my friend! (Shows what you miss when you don't poke around all the threads, too!) Sounds to me Darla did a marvelous job!
keep the beat goin' ... Don't keep it to yourself!
