True story told to me by Roy Blankenship: A guy walks into a stereo store and asks for a salesperson to help. Roy kindly offers his help, "What are you looking for?"

"Music is the cup which holds the wine of silence.

No words can speak like notes do. It also all depends how much you love & understand the guitar. I AM BEHIND the times. LOTS to discover. Right NOW:
FAVORITE SONG: "DREAMING" (Can't thank you enough..)
ALBUM: SHAMPOOHORN Me Likey This A Lot!!!! 2:50min until the end
Guitar Mastery at its best. Just found it in Sep.'10. AM GRATEFUL I FOUND IT!
