I learned how to chord “Last Date” or maybe the name is “Last Kiss.” I am not sure today. It starts out in lyrics like this….”We were out on a date in my daddy’s car. we hadn’t driven very far far, there in the road right strait ahead, a car was stalled ..the engine we dead, well I couldn’t stop so I swerved to the right, I lost my love, my life that night. Ohhh where oh where can my baby be, the Lord took her away from me…she’s gone to heaven so I’ve got to be good , so I can see my baby when I leave this world.”
Due to circumstance I had no control over, time passed. My sister sold her guitar and I gave up learning. Two years later my boy-friend gave me his little old guitar to learn on. He had given up on learning. I started learning again. Years later he bought me a real nice guitar. I believe it was a Yamaha and it was nice. Did I mention he was also by this time, my husband. We were married 12 + years. I learned how to strum that guitar and would bellow out songs by Hellen Ready, Cher,and others and even wrote some of my own songs. I had and still have my own style of song and playing. I never played other than at home or family gatherings.
