The Shiny New Guitar

Last fall, I purchased a guitar with the intention of teaching myself to play. I've kept that a secret from my family. I put the guitar out in the "library" for Easter when my guests visited. Each of my siblings had the same reaction. "Who's guitar is that?" I kept silent but felt like saying, "Who's guitar do you think it is?" or "Vince Gill left it the last time he stopped by." My brother, who plays the guitar, picked it up and started to strum. "You'll have a lot of fun with this", he said. I'm not ready to play for an audience yet, but who knows, maybe my brother and I can play a duet some day. All I have left to do is to learn how to play and no, I won't sing as I play.
