You know what this is?  This is cheap, but good, therapy.  This came to mind right away because it’s kind of new, and it is a hard question.  I acquired my brother’s 1967—well, first of all, I’m from a musical family, and my brother was 4 years older, great musician, teacher, plays everything.  I acquired his D18 Martin Guitar 1967 when he passed away a couple of years ago.  So it’s kind of a sad story, but I love it and I take good care of it.  I don’t play, unfortunately, so I have that—I want to say delusion—I have that problem because it needs to be played, and I don’t want to give it away. I should learn.

[Take some lessons.]

It was his number one instrument. I keep him alive through it, and I take really good care of it, and I get it out all the time.  Pretend to play a few stupid songs.

[I’ll just say that singing the type of folk music that we’re singing here, like the songs in these books, don’t take very many chords.  You could take lessons for a month, and you would be able to play and sing along probably with a lot of the songs we do.]
