The music of the 60s still lives on. The Beatles inspired me to learn the guitar and now I am 60 years old and still strumming!
I play in our church Praise Band now instead of a Rock n Roll band but I’m still playing! For my 60th birthday my wonderful wife, Christine, bought me a brand new Martin guitar!
