I picked up a guitar for the first time during my freshman year of college. It was the thing to do. My roommate had a customized Guild electric guitar, and would play it loudly while I tried to take a nap. One thing led to another, and I started learning chords from him. He got me started, and then I went on from there. I would take another friend's guitar with me to the boiler room, where I worked the graveyard shift. I would practice for hours a night. That's where I learned to play the guitar.
I was recently asked to play for a Royal Ranger Pow-Wow with the worship band. Pow-Wow is a camping trip for boys that are in Rangers, a church scouting program. It should be fun. We rehearsed last night, and I'll tell you, I much prefer playing than leading. I never wanted to be the lead guy in the band, that's just how things usually end up. This time I get to just be with the band. Nice.
