Something music

I am still trying to figure out how to post a picture with an explanation on from my iPhone, but it got lost. Somehow the picture gets inverted from the paragraph I wrote before? I know now to text above the picture.

Anyway, the left shoulder the way it has been, I have not felt like picking up the guitar much.

I purchased the book above at a music store in Vietnam, but it's all written in Vietnamese. Its all universal to me as far a the notes and scores. My memory is so bad as far as witch song I tried, but I only got to play a couple measures before I had to put the guitar back down. I miss the "Getting lost in time" while I play. Once I can remember a piece, I will close my eyes or turn out the lights to play. It's awesome feeling, but if you play you have to known.

Tomorrow night, Buddy Guy is playing at the Spotlight 29 Casino in Coachella, California. I purchased a tribute DVD to Stevie Ray Vaughn and fell for the blues music right away. My father played the blues, but I never understood/new were he picked it up. When I pick up his "78 Gibson" that's all it wants to play. I took it to a guitar shop to have the "B" string fixed, "It always sounds sad" I said. The man at the shop gave it a tune up and replaced the bridge, thinking that would help. You know, I think that the blues is all the "78" guitar wants to play ;•)

PS: Buddy Guy is more than 2.5 hours away and there is no way I am going to make it tomorrow night.
