I can’t do it! *dies laughing* </p> <p> Shaun, have you always possessed your incredible wit and impeccable comic genius or was it an acquired thing? ‘cause if you were this funny in high school, I don’t think you would have needed the guitar anyway. Although, it does help. There’s nothing more attractive than pimply, pasty white boy who can play the guitar and is on fire for God… that is, except a handsome young man who can play the guitar and is on fire for God - but those are in short supply. </p> ok… breathe… breathe… nope!

I never strayed from those 4 chords and gained lots of “friends” who would have never talked to me otherwise. <br /> Great post, praise the Lord that satire is not dead. </p> As the girl who plays guitar, I have to bow to the power of the instrument that made me the “Jennifer Knapp” of my small Southern Baptist college.

I didn’t start playing acoustic guitar until I was a senior in high school. Before then I was a “pure” band nerd. All trumpet and nothing but the trumpet. </p> <p> Started rocking the 6 string and life took off for me.
