Recently found this old music book from when I took guitar lessons in the back room of a vacuum cleaner repair shop at Avenue Road and Lawrence ten thousand years ago.

My instructor, who was into JJ Cale, said Bah to the Beatles! This was scribbled on the inside  cover.

After a series of I can’t remember how many lessons, the only thing I could play was a version of ‘With a Little Help from my Friends’, with hints of ‘Magnolia’, ‘After Midnight’, and ‘Cocaine’.

I don’t blame my instructor.
I’m an accordionist at heart.
