I didn’t decide to play guitar, but that was the instrument which I was offered. I’ve always been interested in horn-type instruments, such as a saxophone; but those instruments are very expensive, so my dad bought me a guitar instead.

That was many years—and beers—ago. | I didn’t decide to play guitar, but that was the instrument which I was offered.
