When I was young I played guitar. I gave it up decades ago. A few years ago, I thought I'd like to get back into playing some music. I didn't want to take up the guitar again. I decided on the autoharp. I thought it would be easy... it wasn't! A while back I just grew tired of it & put it away. I don't know as I'll ever go back to it again. My CD player plays so much nicer music than I could ever put out...
