He waited too long

"I'm sorry but I have to put the guitar down for good." Words he never thought he’d say, but were true.

This was a student of mine last year who had always said “one day I’ll pick up the guitar” and kept putting his career ahead of his dream. 

Unfortunately by the time “one day” rolled around and he was retired arthritis had set in so badly that within a few weeks the pain was unbearable. 

My heart broke for him.

But it was a lesson to not put off your dreams one day longer.

Call it a mental health thing, call it a personal development thing, whatever makes you feel better about investing time and resources, but start. Reply "One day" to this email and we'll get you everything you need to playing full chords and full songs (yes really).

You aren’t guaranteed tomorrow. 
You have today.

Jam soon, 
JB

Memorializing: v) preserve the memory of some one or thing
It's Memorial Day and if you have served in the military, first, thank you for your service and sacrifice. It is easy to forget that the freedoms we enjoy in this country came at a price and many are still paying that price today.  But what do we do on a day like this?  Visit the gravesite of lost loved ones, attend a service, watch a movie, listen to music that was meaningful way back when.
