Guitars are a love of mine. I inherited my fathers guitar when he passed away.
My father used to play the guitar for me when I was a young girl. He sang songs that made me smile and feel special. The Guitar means so much to me and evokes feelings of love, comfort and home. My sons Armando and Marcelo have started playing the guitar. They don’t know the pride I have for their efforts. My father died when I was 15. I thought the music had died until they picked up the guitar and started picking.

My father used to sing and play music in some of the bars in our small Kansas town.
His specialty was Mexican love songs called coridas.
