However, I had always been shy and too nervous to try playing 3in public.
I had been playing the4since I was ten years old, but the idea of playing in front of other people was very5.

When my turn came, I played my favorite tune and I even started to12! I could not hear what I sounded like, but to my surprise, I eventually forgot about all the people in the audience and started to enjoy myself. When the song ended, everyone clapped and some people

After the show a man14up to me to say how much he enjoyed my15. He said that he had a rock band, and they needed to 16la guitar player. He asked me to come along the next day to have a try. This successful trial turned my dream into 17. In the following days, we18around a lot, playing in concerts in lots of places around the world. Sometimes we would enter competitions and once we went on TV.
We really enjoyed ourselves and life was like a big long holiday. As we became more successful, we had to work harder and practice more and eventually I became19of travelling so much. But now, nearly fifty years later, I look back on those carefree days of my
