I grew up just like every other kid; forced to play soccer out of pressure from friends and my then environment. I was never good at soccer; but then, do I just stand watch others have fun while I rust and rot?
Later as nature had it to my rescue, our church organized a sunday school choir; I took keen interest and I became the Lead tenor singer.
Thence, I was taught to control the Metronome since I'd learned time signature.
In a couple of years, I was playing as assistant drummer for my church. At this, I was going places: playing and learning as well. Had my sticks bag on my back 24/7😀😁😂
Like Don Williams would say in His Amanda; "I had my first guitar when I was ........".
Not so divergent here, Since I'd known solfa notes, Dad offered me a keyboard at age 13 and offered to teach me the basics; funny I'd beaten his score in keyboard in a year time.
The Saxophone got me dying to play it; and I had my way through an high school bunkie; Natjoe.
Am not an expert at Bass guitar but at least you'll nod in excitement to my slaps and picks.
And today, I delight teaching others to play for free; wish they grow to do more than me.
With skills at these, I feel blessed and I urge everyone out there to chase, catch and keep their dreams.
