Guitar Lessons

Friday Aug. 1st saw Will at the home of Sherrae Phelps, a young mother who teaches guitar lessons. He brought with him a book of campfire songs and his guitar. A few nights earlier he had totally wowed his audience with his full throated vocal versions of "Swing Lo, Sweet Chariot," and "When the Saints Come Marching In." It was concluded that if he could rock out that well to these gospel songs what might he do with them and a guitar? According to Sherrae, he did very well. All of his self-taught guitar strumming came back and she was able to give him some pointers on some of the specific songs in the campfire book. The benefit of music in stroke recovery has been well documented and we are hoping that the combination of singing and strumming will pack a particularly powerful punch.
