So well done Cheryl! It is indeed my guitar, my very lonely guitar!

I bought this ‘Gallo’ guitar about 30 years ago for either £5 or £15, I cannot quite remember. I was told at the time it came from Kenya (or perhaps South Africa), but a Google search suggests Dutch origin. In fact, John Lennon had a Gallo when he first bumped into Paul McCartney in the late fifties.

My total lack of ability to grasp anything musical was quickly realised at the evening classes that followed. I did a murderous version of ‘Carolina on my Mind’, which is sadly no longer available…
