| That's me, age 14, getting a guitar lesson from Lindsay Holland |
I learned this Hank Williams classic when I was a teenager from a
summer camp counselor who came from Ft Worth Texas (thank you Lindsay Holland!). He taught me how to
finger-pick, for which I am eternally grateful. Lindsay is a musician and poet, last heard of in San Diego California. Like many of us, his dreams of becoming a full-time musician were interrupted by life, but I hear he is still playing and singing, and passed his gifts to his son as well.
Wherever you are today, thank you for teaching me Doc Watson, Hank Williams, Bob Dylan and Libba Cotton.
I am so grateful to all the musical mentors who have crossed my path along the way.
