For me, it all started with a an old Spiegel's catalog from which my mom and dad ordered my first guitar. Shortly after that, I started listening to some old 45 and 33-1/2 rpm country records, always amazed when I'd hit the right chord in a song. It's been 44 years now, and I still experience the amazement of the music - but the old Spiegel's guitar is naught but memory now.
