So here it is....my Holiday break.  I've got a little down time and I've decided to actually begin a blog. I've never done it before and I'm not sure if I've got it right, but here goes.....

As many of you know, I'm a classical/acoustic guitarist.  But if asked what I do for a living, my answer is that I teach guitar.  That's always at the top of the list.  Yes I play gigs (mostly, but not exclusively, weddings) and I occasionally play concerts or recitals. But I'm really a teacher.  I'm proud of that. I gave my first lessons for money when I was 19.  In a couple of years I will hit the half-century mark........ 50 years of showing others how to have fun with a guitar.

As you can imagine, I have my opinions about a variety of subjects.  But the only subject that will be on this blog will be the arts.  Yep, that's pretty general, but that's the subject.....ARTS.  Oh - and the artists themselves.

I'm sure this will be clumsy at first.  I always tell my students "The first is the worst". So hang in there with me please while I catch my balance and find my stride. And don't be a stranger....
