“What’s this song?” you asked Grammy and me as the notes of Day Tripper filled the air.  Beatles, yay!!  Music to my ears! Your hard work learning the song (and others like the famous 3 Musketeers’ Smoke on the Water) from YouTube videos is starting to pay off. Keep it going guitar girl, don’t stop! It will bring you -and others – joy all the days of your life.

Here I am in my early rock and roll days!  The first photo may have been my first live performance; everyone seems to be singing along (or trying to).  In the second photo I’m posing with my new guitar in our kitchen at Lord court in Somersworth.  One of the songs I liked to play was “Hanky Panky” by Tommy James & the Shondells, a #1 hit in 1966.  I was in seventh grade.
