Thank you so much, my friend! Sometimes it still feels like another language to me also. Lol! And wow, I am floored by the amount made by this post. It was at 13 cents when I went to sleep last night. I post these videos as a way to chronicle my progress and hopefully encourage others to learn an instrument. Music has definitely added to my life.

On another note (pun intended), I'm not sure if I ever told you my stepdad was a US Marine Force Recon Sniper in Vietnam. He was one tough SOB when I was growing up. Of course, I didn't appreciate it when I was a kid. Frankly, I was scared of him. Now I realize that what he taught me has extended beyond childhood into manhood. He died in 2009 in a motorcycle accident, and even though I hated him sometimes, I sure miss that son of a bitch now.

Thank you, Hive account@teotwawkiman, for your service and for your continued efforts to keep us safe, brother. Ain't nothin' tougher than a Marine on the scene!
