I admit,I`m lost in all the talk.I know it means something

.It`s like with me and Spanish,I kinda followed it.Back many years I tryed to get into playing,casually,when I ended up with a sunburst Rickenbocker 12 string like Roger McGuinn and Tom Petty play.I had a Fender practice amp.I was in Ft.Collins,CO and had to get home.This guy owed me money and I got that as payment.I really needed the money for the drive back east,but I was tickled to have these.I`m a big Byrds fan from way back(as well as Tom Petty).I found some riders off the college station ride board for the gas money.
I was learnin`my chords a bit and really enjoying it.I was at my folk`s house a few months and my little sister showed it off to some guy.The next thing I knew it was gone.We never locked the house.

I still want to pick it up someday.I played drums,but haven`t for many years.Married with kids killed my musician dreams and I gave my drums to my little brother.He`s 39 now and is a drummer by trade.He also builds & restores sets/pieces and sells them.He had a drum shop or a while...he let that go.He just sells on Ebay and by word of mouth.
