"5) If You Could Read My Mind - Gordon Lightfoot: My guitar teacher once asked me to learn this song to help me understand how words and music can work in perfect unison. The discovery of how this one comes together gave me chills ... and still does."

So did you ever learn to play the song? Do you still play guitar?

Uh, not me Cathy - it's a quote from the article. I'm assuming he did learn it.

You mean you never learned to play it? You don't play at all?

I can barely handle a kazoo or wax-paper comb. There was never the money for a guitar, let alone lessons and no room for a piano (I have 8 younger siblings.) And while I have a good ear for music - and used to have a decent soprano - I never learned to read music, the good Sisters of Mercy attempts notwithstanding. I learned songs for choir by ear, all 3 years, first in Latin then in English, courtesy of the changes in the Catholic Church with Vatican II.

Not to worry - I've never had any interest in learning to play music on any instrument, nor in performing as such. I'll sing along alone in the house (well, the dog is there giving me funny looks or looking for cover, LOL) or occasionally in the car, and in church, but that's all folks.
