Re: [Harp-L] New Tunes Walter Horton

["Abner Galdos" <cdgaldos@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Steve thank you for your encouraging words.. last night my son (just turned 20) was horsing around with an electric Casio organ that I bought my daughter years ago. now he never had any interest in music but I did  buy him an acoustical guitar and he stared strumming and he sounded good, then he stopped for months... any way back to the organ... he was in his room playing an amazing sound... when he came out I asked him if that was him.. he asked why and I told him he was good...something I've told him in the past.. he has an amazing ear for music....so last night he played again for mother and me and once again he blow us away.. he felt he  played the song to fast. I asked him how he got the song and he told me he heard it and replayed it and then played it..... 
soon the abner and Jesse band will be playing at your local bar,pub,weddings,funerals...
I will keep on practicing I no I don't have an ear but I have a soul that feels the music.... I will say I can dance, all I have to do is use that to play...
thank you Steve Webb in the icebox I know how cold you feel we are down to the mid 50's here in south Florida............sorry

  Careful what you ask for, Abner.  Just learning to play well enough to get up with a band and do one song was my original goal many, many years ago. That led to being sidetracked into learning guitar and bass and playing in weekend bands on bass. I returned to harp more seriously about 10 years ago and now, here I am, playing again on weekends, this time on harp.
   I too had a dead ear. I found they can be revived to a degree. I also found that persistence was just as much a virtue as talent. Keep slogging along and maybe someday you will discover that you have learned much more than you realized.
