I was going to a summer camp where the councilors would play acoustic guitars and sing Bob Dylan songs and other folk songs and I determined that the guitar was my real calling. So I asked my mom for a .22 rifle for my 14th birthday. I really wanted a rifle..... but my mom thought the rifle was a bit too dangerous and she told me no rifle. So, I selected the next thing on my wish list.......a guitar. So at 14 I got my first guitar.

Wow, a rifle or a guitar ... crazy! I can't imagine ever asking my parents for a gun. I had a hard enough time with asking for a guitar! grin I had to cut so many lawns in order to pay for half of it.

That sucks you got kicked out of the marching band, but I suppose if you didn't like it it's not too much of a loss? Hopefully you weren't too disappointed!
