I picked up the guitar as a beginner in my early 50s. A couple of years later, I am playing the music that moved me as a kid. I am no virtuoso, but I enjoy it just the same.
​​
This project—this website, the videos, social media, and playing on the street—is my way of capturing the journey and recording progress.
