for the first time

(i'm too lazy to pull out the old scanner, one dusty thing at a time please.)

for the first time, in a long time, i blew the dust off the old guitar (literally) and really played.

my fingers were raw by the time i was done, but it was well worth the hurt.

it's hard to imagine that there was a time in my life where my guitar was a daily thing.

now i can probably count the times that i've really played in the last 5 years on 1 hand=sad.

it made me want to dig out old college videos and relive my "glory days".

byu-idaho has a campus event called "guitars unplugged" that i played at a few times.

the first time i performed, i played "amazing grace" solo.

the second time three guitars played "worlds apart" -jars of clay

there was also two guitars and two drums "had to say i love you in a song" -jim croce

then "drive" -incubus, two guitars and an egg shaker

"your song" -elton john, two guitars a piano and a cello (my favorite)

"you and i both" -jason mraz, two guitars and an egg shaker

i've been daydreaming since sunday night.

i may be spending some quality time with the old VHS later today.
