I went in today expecting to teach my pal Rudy “The Micky Mouse March” on the guitar. He had brought his favorite book of simple Disney songs with chords written in. Unfortunately, he was not able to practice as someone else in the home was borrowing the guitar. However, he told me that he had been having fun playing simple songs on his mandolin. He shared with me that day that he actually used to play the violin but his shoulder had given out over the years. He said that the violin had been one of his earliest joys in life, as he had been playing it since he was an adolescent (a.k.a he had been a violinist for over 85 years). It was nice seeing that the guitar could sort of fill this musical void in his soul, and that he could pursue his love for music in a totally new way.
